I upgraded my lights to the AI prime about 2 weeks ago. I noticed some of my zoa polyps were fading in color, and my hammers seemed to be closed up. I’ll post the coral and my light schedule. If anyone could tell me if I need to adjust anything or what’s going on with my corals I would greatly appreciate it!

Sounds like they were used to the old lights and now are questioning what is going on with their sun.

If you didn't already, use the acclimation mode on your AI lights. Set them to 50% for 15 days, 20% for another 15 days and then go to 100%. AI's are deceptively strong. Your corals need time to adjust.
