YOUR MAKING ASSUMPTIONS. I never said full spectrum isn't a stressor did I? I said they don't know if full spectrum provides any triggers or aid to help corals protect themselves.Well yea they don' t compare blue vs fs but your other assumptions aren't really valid . You assume high full spectrum light is not a stressor...it is.
Afaict at high full spectrum light levels most corals go into " shutdown" mode to avoid more damage so yes they are adapted to it but it is not err ideal.
And natures light field is continually variable so the stress is intermittent.
Combine high light stress with rising water temps and you bleach easier.
Example, the ir in full spectrum could trigger corals to shut down photosynthesis befor damage occurs. In blue only that trigger would be lacking and therefore allow corals to become damaged.
This is not assuming anything, this is pointing out how limited that study was and how it bears little on a discussion about full spectrum lights possible benefit to corals.
Did you loose the topic of this thread?
