Any ideas why my rbta is so ugly looking

[jcs11236]

I see everyone else's looking either bubbly or nice and snugged in a nice area. Mine has been just stretching it self as wide as it can looking really weird and ugly.
Any advise. The par level where it is at is 200
Should I raise the leds % higher
I have AI hydra
Here's a pic

Maybe too much flow. But I assume if it is not happy it would move

does look like its trying to catch more light. turn the light up a notch, and hows the flow??

 

[jcs11236]

Yea. It does look like that to me too. But I feel like 200 par is pretty good. I will boost up leds some. Flow is pretty strong where he is but he looks like he likes it. Lol. I assume if he didn't he would move some.

He is attached to the side of a mag float rock. And he is stretching himself across the whole rock

When clowns host the bubble tips go from bubbly to stringy for some reason. I had mine split and the bubble tip thats hosted is stringy and the one that moved away and is not hosted is big and bubble filled

Same with mine. When a clownfish hosted my rbta, it was all stringy.

I think you might need more then 200 PAR intensity of light.
Nems actually need a lot of light, in the old days, MH lighting was a must for keeping them healthy.

I don't see anything in these pictures that makes me think this animal is stressed.

 

[jcs11236]

It's mainly in first pic you can see the way it stretches itself wide. Not really too concerned about it not bubbling. It's color is good and it eats every time I feed tank.
I just lowered my AI hydra 2" as per suggestion from AI staff and raised the intensities of white leds some. Will borrow par meter from friend and recheck par
Thanks for replies everyone

This may be a stupid Question but when was the last time you fed it? They get stringy sometimes when hungry the tentacles stretch to seek food they also move inserch of better light and food. Fed that thing 2 or three silversides cut in half
