Paly stem extended

[rainmalawi]

Hi, anyone knows the reason why my palys extends its stem as if to reach out to the lights. Sometimes the stem can stretch thin and tall. If they can remain low and compact, it will be nicer.

Thank you.

They are indeed stretching for light.

if this happens in night light then is fine. if its also like this when ur lights are in day mode, then u may want to shift them to brighter area.

I have a frag of mohawk zoas which I left near the back of my tank and it grow very tall within a short period of time. Shifted it right in the middle of the tank where he will get the most light and within a few days. The longest stem dropped on its side and stuck itself to the rock. Growing a new polyp. The rest of the stem got significantly shorter too.
