Inflated elegance coral

Hey everyone,

I've been observing my Catalaphyllia, and it appears to be a bit puffed up.

Is that... normal? Bad? Good?

It's possible that your Catalaphyllia is attempting to reposition itself. Similar behavior has been observed in Fungia corals, which occasionally inflate to facilitate movement. This inflation allows them to shift slightly with minimal water flow.
