trumpet coral sick!

[eddiereefs]

hey guys i think my green trumpet coral is sick. today at 8 after i turned off the white lights, leaving only the actinics, i noticed my trumpet corals were extruding glowing green slime. i had just upgraded my bio cube to rapid led lights and some people say that it is releasing the photosynthetic organisms living inside tissue (cant spell it). is this true? it was fine for a week. thanks

p.s water quality is great. nitrate and nitrite at 0, ph stable, calcium 450, mg 1400, etc. all my corals are fine. frogspawn, duncan, zoanthids, etcc.

What kind of light did you have before the change? If more powerful are you acclimating?

its a biocube 29 so the two 36 watt pcs. yes i do acclimate and the trumpet is at the lowest possible level. the coral did not even open up today. i will post pics asap.

In acclimation, I was referring to the new lights.

yea gotcha, i did dim them at first and they are still not at full brightness. but the coral it self was bought after i already had the leds, so leds are all they ever had to get used to.
