GSP have curly / corkscrew fronds?

Hi,

My green star polyps started curling back on themselves at the tips about 2 months ago. Is this a problem? They've stayed fully extended and kept their color, but they don't look like any other gsp I've seen. Is this a problem?

Here is a picture: Green star polyps with curly fronds

Thanks!

Hi Paul:

Gee, last time I looked, "fronds" were found on "Ferns"! LOL

You are referring to the tentacles of the coral which look fine to me. They may be responding to water flow however, but that's just a guess on my part.
