Yes, I wasn’t going to cover it.Don't cover the tank to darken it. Just keep your room lit like LRT said.
It will take time for the shock to go away. in a few days I would go to 50% of what you did use for lights.
I do have a journal!!You have a nice camera. You need to start documenting your corals.
Examples of mine corals sleeping.
Torch just finished splitting after 8 months. Took her long enough
This goni here has been through a lot since I have had it. It has survived brown jelly 3 times, a torch sting and being shredded by a powder blue tang.
This is what it looked like before
And now it is recovering after removing a monster PBT
Understanding each coral is very critical. This is hard work. You got the camera, you can do it. Take photos and write observation notes on each one. I am sure we all do this. Until we don't need too anymore.
If I could get another goni colony, I can show you one ticked off torch. My torch HATES new goniopora's being added into the tank. But, I just bought a trachy brain. So we will see how she responds tuesday to that addition.
Edit: and Yes, I am worried for you. I have had my battles. I still have them.
