Yesterday I picked up a couple flasher wrasses and a large maxima clam, about 6". In my impatience, I turned the tank lights on prematurely and my Purple tang and melanurus wrasse both harassed the newbies, so I turned off the lights for the rest of the day and night. The newcomers were both very stressed and the Scarlet fin(the one I can see) has not moved since the lights went out yesterday. Today I am wondering if I should keep them off or turn them on for the clam, and my couple SPS and my RBTA.

Normally, I would just leave them off but I want the clam to get comfortable also. What do you guys think? Thanks, Dave
