Have two greens. One is a bright metallic green the other is a little softer gray green.
I have the radion LEDs but something about the LEDs doesn't seem to agree with the nems. The brighter they are the worse the nems seem to do.....I've got red and green at zero with white at 75% and the total brightness at 30% at the peak. Roughly 11 hours of lighting......ramping upland then back down. Meanwhile, the mushrooms are starting to stretch out looking for more light. Is it possible these are deeper water anemones? At peak lighting the brighter green one will shrivel up and look aweful.....then recover when the lights back down. The other one doesn't shrivel up but pulls back into the rocks at higher light levels. Any advice here? Should I just run the lights at normal levels and let the nems do their thing? I've had these for a couple months now.
 
Did you use the acclimation setting on the Radion?

They should move if they are really upset too. But sounds like they are not happy.
 
Didn't know there was an acclimation setting, I'll look into it. I'm just going to leave the lights as set and hope they acclimate. I rearranged the rocks with more overhangs so they can find a happy place. Just very frustrating.
 
My green did the same thing I dialed down the white lights and the blues as well and both are growing like weeds if you can adjust the lights dial them downa little more and they shoudl get happier then slowly increase the light back up and by slowly I mean real slow so the can adjust well.
