You think I should bump the intensity up a little more?When they extend like that, it means they are reaching for more light.
How long have they been umbrella shaped?You think I should bump the intensity up a little more?
I am not sure I just got back from vacation, so a week max but I just noticed today. Tank is not that old 3 months ish. Only other corals in the tank are zoas, gsp and some ricordias. Everything else seems happy. I just wiped the lights down. They had a little salt spray on them. Will keep a eye on the the next few days.How long have they been umbrella shaped?
Agree with the others. If everything else is fine, I would leave the lights as is. Definitely don't make full tank changes for one frag. Moving up the rockwork would be my recommendation as well. Or just wait it out a bit and see if they shorten. The lengthening doesn't mean they aren't healthy and they are not necessarily being harmed.You think I should bump the intensity up a little more?
I did just scrape the glass yesterday it was pretty coated with algae.I have seen my zoas do this when feeding or if I agitate them. They get the bell shape and then return back to normal after a half hour or so. Not sure why they do it but I haven't seen any negative effects.
