So we're about a week into this contest, has anyone noticed anythign wierd going on with their Polyp? I know i've been changing the vortech mode every day to shake things up. All of my coral has responded positively. This Pepperoni is doing some weird stuff at it's base. perhaps it is ready to do the carpet dance and wear an ungly brown skirt for a few weeks while budding a few heads.
 
I noticed that mine slowly shrunk down to a tiny nubbin and disappeared after folding into a taco for two days, does that count for anything?
