new bubble coral question

[joshalicialtjt]

so i drip acclimated it for a little over 2 hours today and since it has been put in it comes out a bit and then goes back in. Back and forth little more and then back and little more and then back, im guessing this is just normal and its feeling out the tank because right this second its starting to look quite good.
fingers crossed

there is no question here....?

wah?

 

[joshalicialtjt]

basically is it normal for it to not be fully extended the first day or so or is less lighting going to keep it quite small? i have 2 24watt T5 HO on top of the 29 its in

yes it is normal

normal for it to not open a alot at first. bubbles prefer lower light, so actually more light makes them stay smaller.

whan i had mine under PC's it was HUGE! like bigger than a softball. now with my HQI, its much smaller. but doing well, its actually under an over hang.

just for kicks, here's mine slightly after feeding time...
