Suffering bubble coral.

[Sander1001]

How do I reaclimate my bubble coral? I nearly killed it when I added a second 250 MH for a total of 2 in my 80 gal. I also have 2 95watt PC actinics. Everything did fine except the bubble coral, I currently have it in the shade and it is making a slooooow recovery. I have tried giving it a little more light then it seems to get worse. I know these can take life at the bottom of an aquarium with mh lighting but how do I get mine there if possiable? It was flourishing before my MH addition in my attempt to increase the SPS growth. The local fish store is proof, as they have a beautiful bubble coral in a 100 gal tank with 3-250 mh and actinics.

Time. Your going to have to wait it out. Once the coral regrows and starts to look good then i would slowly start to try and give it more light. Until then keep it shaded and maybe try feeding it when it gets healthy enough to accept foods.

I have 2 bubble corals in my tank. I found that they both prefer lower light. I have one on the top of the rockwork in the far back corner so it only gets indirect light. The other is in the lower 1/3 of the tank directly under the 250.
