Clear tentacles coming out of my coral?

[SeaMaiden92]

I just noticed two little clear tentacles coming out of the base of one of my corals. They are kind of thick and have darker tips. Are they sweeper tentacles? I was under the impression that they would only come out at night. Also, they sway around with the current, if that helps. Thanks for the help!

Yup, all good there. Favia/favites throw those out any time of day or night.

@elorablue Oh thank goodness! That's a relief! Although, it's a platygyra if that makes a difference. Do they do that too?

Yes, as do many other LPS corals.

Oh sorry, blue pic made me think it was a favia. Still good

Awesome, thanks! I didn't have time to mess with the lights because I was almost going to be late to work. I feel so much better it's not something bad!

Woke up today and those are just sweepers. Form of feeding and killong

Somewhat relevant...
There was a recent write up on reefbuilders.com... could be a paragon and not a platygyra. Won't likely know until it grows more but paragon apparently are much more aggressive with sweepers as a general rule.

I have a paragon I believe that has 4-5in sweepers every night.

Thanks I'll have to look them up! The site I got it from said it's a platygyra, but it wouldn't be the first time a pet store mislabeled something. Lol
