This is a pearl bubble asking for food...or quarreling with a neighbor. I think it's food, because it's daytime.



It's not as much a specific distance as it is size of the polyp and the strength of the flow. I just mounted a sea swirl in my tank, which I think improves their behavior, more chaos, less blowing straight downstream.

That should be fine, mine stretches about 4"-5" when sweeping. The bubble is between a baseball and softball size, closer to softball size.
