Everyone,
I have had my Ricordeas for about a month now. I run 2 Kessil a360we on my 65g tank. They have been at the bottom of the tank, in a low flow area. The max I was running my Kessils were at 40% Intensity with like 30% color. One day I decided to bump up the intensity to 45% and color to 40%.
The next day I noticed that only 1 of 3 Rics was shrunken, whereas my other Yumas and Rics were fully extended and appeared to be fine. I also noticed the Ric excreting some black zooanthalea from its center. Needless to say, I decided to go back down to my original settings and all appeared fine.
Maybe I should have spot fed them good before I turned up the intensity.....but it's not like I craned them way up?? Any thoughts??
The only other thing I can think of it that I had 2 of the Rics (which were on frag plugs) touching each other, and moved them slightly apart since one was a bit knocked over from a Nessarius traveling by. Would that slight separation cause the Ric to get ticked off??
