Ricordea's shrinks in one day

[A3LXK]

yesterday i bought this piece of Green Ricordea's.

Today they look like this.

Why is this happening? The orange ricordea's are fine and is a piece i already had.

The water parameters are:

Salinity 33 promille
Alkalinity 8
Calcium 450
Magnesium 1350
Potassium 420
Borium 4
Iodine 0.06
No3 2.5
Po4 0.06

Your light might be brighter than the tank they came from. I have several ricordea Florida and ricordea yumas, and have seen this behavior after moving them. Also, both types of ricordea will close up from time to time for no apparent reason, just to reopen later.

Ok, thanx. That makes sence. Indeed they came from a much darker tank at the local fish store. They are open now but about half of the size they were.
