Zoas closed up

[MikeyAl]

So I've been keeping zoas a long time. Recently decided I am going to build a zoa garden. But some oft colonies have been closed up for a couple of days.
The ones that Ioved around and handled a lot I can understand. Otherwise not sure. Only change is that I am slowly ramping my LEDs (35% blue, 15% white).

Sg 1.024
Nitrate <5
Phos <.05
Temp 78
Calcium 350ppm
Alk 7 dKH.

Suggestions?

How many days in between lighting changes?

 

[MikeyAl]

2 days

Let me restate that. I just ramped up 5% 2 days ago. I ramp up 5 every week. Only had lights 3 weeks.

Sounds like they are reacting to the change of lighting. Hold off on any more changes and watch closely.

Okay. Thanks. The ones that I handled yesterday are pretty closed up. I had to get them attached to a rock they fell off of. I assume they will recover in a day or 2.
