new lights- condy acting strange

i have a condylactis that i've had in my tank for almost a year now, and for that whole year it has stayed in one spot.
last week i upgraded my lights from one 65w pc, to one 65w actinic, and one 65w white. a total of 130w. i've been leaving the actinics on for about 6 hours a day and the whites on for about 3 hours a day according to instructions from my lfs.

in the last couple days, the condy had moved spots and i came home today to see it on the back of my tank, barely attached to the glass, half its foot hanging off. sorry i don't have any pics, i can't find my camera and i'll try to get some up soon.
is this due to not enough light? what can i do to fix this. otherwise the condy looks ok, no gaping mouth (that i can see, it's tentacles are hanging down). will it be ok?
thanks for your time and suggestions.
 
I would not worry. it will adjust to the new light intensity. It move because it was shocked by the new lights.
 
thanks, i'm not worried anymore it went back down to the rocks after i got the lights on. i think i just deprived it of lights for too long and it's instinct was to move higher up to any light source available. thanks
