Frog Spawn - light reqmts?

[jimnrose]

I have a 4 month 'young' 125 gal (16" deep) display with LED lights and have recentily been adding various frags with very good results until I added a Frog Spawn . Initially 10 days ago) it opened about half it's length but has been getting smaller each day until yesterday it didn'topen at all.

My parameters are good so I'm focusing on the light level. I read it requires mod to hgh light levels but am told it perfers low to moderate levels, so I'm confused.
Questions: is there a recommended light level?
is there a recommended time interval?
is there something I'm missing?
Thanks, Jim

I've never had problems with frogspawn/hammer coral/etc....They have always been happy under my 250 Watt MHs no matter where I place them in the water column. I have noticed if they are getting hit with too much flow that they don't like to open up. Is it possible they are too close to a powerhead?

Dustin, my lfs told me to make sure it's not in a high flow area & I made sure of that. When I first put in tin the tannk it did open and I could verify that it was only getting a very low flow rate. Thaks for your input. Jim
