I got a new lobo yesterday. Here's a pic. It's the one in the middle with two polyps

I moved it away from the favia yesterday so they wouldn't bother each other. This morning before my lights came on I noticed that it was puffier. I have leds with whites maybe running at 50% and blues at about 60%. The lights have been on about four hours and it doesn't look as full. Color and otherwise fine. Flow is the same although it's putting off a little slime. Could this be a sign that it needs even less light?
 
Today it's still not puffy, but the mouths are open. I think the lights are only on 4 hours. The Acans and favia look fine. Are Lobos more picky about light or flow?
 
If parameters are stable the lights may be extended up to 8 hrs

Ok. I was just acclimating. But the lobo looks really unhappy and deflated. This morning I moved it into a low flow low light area. The Acans and favia look fine. Are Lobos more sensitive?
 
I just read that moving them stresses them out. I'm going to leave him alone for a few weeks.
