it is, most people dont see polyp extension as a problem but the goal, i can understand what your saying though that sometimes the base is nicer.

best advice i can give is make it mad or get a similiar color coral that doesnt have so much shag.

millies are known for their shag its why alot of people like them

It is... and you shouldn't feel the need to defend the question... but I don't think it was the question the elicited the responses .

I am not sure if there is such a thing as too much polyp extension. IMO, the better the extension, the happier the coral, but that is opinion and I can't claim it as fact. An argument could also be made that it is a sign of wanting more food, but if growth and color are good, I would say to keep on doing whatever it is that is getting that extension,

I would love to have this problem but if you want to see more of it's base come through, I can send you the crab I caught yesterday or you could try moving it to a lower flow area.

How about sending some PE karma to my garf Marko? He's pretty pathetic lately. But the rest of mine are showing great PE. It makes me wonder how much placement is involved in these things.
