Default New feeder tentacle growth on acan?

I suddenly noticed that most of the heads of my acans have some white stretch marks around some feeder tentacles. Doesn't look like any sort of bug or infection since they are well puffed up and happy (even eating too). I think it has been there for long but simply didn't notice it. Any idea?

that's certainly a healthy acan. perhaps it's more fully inflated than before making it appear that way in spots?

Maybe. I checked back some previous pictures of the acans and the same spot was there (like weeks ago). So I am presuming that since acans are fully open and have not seen any irritation on them, its possibly "stretch" marks :P

Just wondering whether anyone else have anything else to comment on the white spots (more visible in the right head).

you must have some over inflated acans normal for such healthy coral.
Under the intense lighting and feeding often you will see these marks,normal view.
