What’s wrong with my zoas

[msobus811]

I’ve been watching my zoas for a couple of days now and these are the first two coral I put into my tank and I just saw this they are closed right now and I’m not sure if this is normal for them but to me it doesn’t not look normal could someone help me out!

If the light has been on it looks like they are stretching for more light. Mine look like that before the light is on then shrink back to normal and open up.

No they light has not been on today it goes on at 12pm then turns off at 7pm

Do the stalls shrink back down after the lights have been on or so they stay stretched out like that.
what light are you using?

This is the first time I noticed them doing this the lights do not come on until 12pm and turn off at 7pm I am currently using the current led marine 48-60 inch light strip I just ordered one more just to increase the light par and I have them in a 75gal tank

Not familiar with those lights but I would guess that they are not getting enough light. Could try moving them up closer to the light.

+1 moving up- definitely stretching. May also want to increase blues intensity if they’re available in your light fixture
