2 days ago I switched up my T5 bulb combination which turned out to be brighter. Before I changed my T5 bulbs my platygyra would put his tentacles out lights out every day since I purchased it and I fed it every week a couple times no problem. During the first day of the brighter bulb combination I noticed the platygyra shrinking not looking inflated like every other day so I raised my light high but didn't really help. At lights out the next day I switched my bulb combination to a less brighter combination and then lights on (yesterday) I noticed the platygyra inflated again like I remember but during lights out his tentacles are still not out. Should I be worried or will the tentacles come out again once it's comfortable? All my other corals have their tentacles out during lights out .

Parameters are all good
 
Hey man, I switch my bulbs up and my platygyra bounced right back with his appetite, just fed him some brine shrimp today. The bulbs Im using for my 40 gallon breeder now are 2T5- ati blue plus and 2T5- ati actinics.
