Tongue Coral Balloon

My tongue/slipper coral keeps blowing up like a balloon. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm afraid it's going to burst!

I don't feed it, but the clowns always take it food. It's fine now, just blows up from time to time and I couldn't find any info on it.

Big Dog Momma,
The clowns are acting as if it is an anemone. Amazing... wish my clown would feed my coral instead of stealing it from their mouth.

they usually puff up with water to help them move to a new location. Puffing way up is a sign they are unhappy with their current location. they can and do move......

The clowns have been hosting in there for about 2 months without any problem.
i would say that if the coral is blowing up and trying to move, than you have a problem.

I did recently reaquascape and part of him was in the shade. I moved him so he is in full light again. I will keep an eye on him.

I realize I have a problem which is why I posted in the first place. I was saying I don't think the clown fish are the problem since they have been hosting in there without any event for a while. I am looking for other possibilities, which have been helpfully provided.
 
Do you have a frag tank that you could move it to? Just because the clowns have been hosting for a while doesn't mean that its not unhappy with the clowns now.
