Hey guys,

I picked up a ritteri last week that was looking incredible in the tank at the store. I brought it home put it in the tank. It's in the highest spot and has good flow but it deflated during the day then at night it fills out and looks amazing. I'm wondering if I could have too much light for it. I would think not but it is about 6" under the water surface under an AI Hydra 52HD that is peaking at about 65%. It's an SPS tank and all acros do incredible under that light so I would think it would too. Just odd that it looks good at night. It has been over a week and it hasn't moved at all so I would think if it didn't like the light it would find a spot it wanted? Water perams are:

Phosphate undetectable
Nitrate undetectable
Alk is 12
Cal is 425

Thanks ahead of time
