SPS Sweepers?
Do SPS have sweepers? I have one sps that when the lights are out it has 1/4" to 3/8" sweepers or extra-long polyps. Really cool. They are actually longer than any of my Millis. I was just curious if this was possible? This is an Acropora and not a milli.

No, those aren't "sweepers." They're probably just extra long polyp extension.

I didn't think they were but thought it was pretty cool.

Gary, next time I'm in SA I want to come get a few of those frags. I might be there in about two weeks.

acropora can send out sweeper like things called acontia.. may be that.. mine usually do this when i begin to feed my fish. then they don't do it every day either...

Most of my sps do that after a good feeding. I'll try to snap some shots.
