Default SPS question

I'm noticing on most of my sps that they have tiny bubbles coming from them. Is this normal?

I've never seen bubbles coming from my SPS. Are you sure they are air bubbles? It could be coral spawn! Where are the "bubbles" coming from?

They are bubbles for sure. It looks like a morning dew on all the tips.. Tiny little bubbles..

The bubbles aren't anywhere else but the corals?

They are only on the sps I have at the top of the rocks. Everything else looks normal... The only thing I can think of is maybe not enough flow? Maybe micro bubbles from the skimmer are collecting there?
