Good Evening!
About two weeks ago, I brought home a new light green trumpet coral, who was sensitive to my Aquamana LED lights. It's like a ReefBreeder Value light, so in order to acclimate it, I turned off my white lights and just ran the blues. Everything looked ok, if not better with just the blue lights. Some of my LPS which were "pastel" looking had better coloring, more in line with what I was used to seeing from the LFS parent colonies.
So I decided to start turning the whites back on some, starting yesterday, with 30 minutes during the day, and going to increase over the course of time. Yesterday, I noticed my nem had moved from its previous spot, and today this:
It's precariously close to my goni, which I have grown out since a tiny frag.
I'm thinking tonight, after I turn the lights out, I'm going to leave a light on in the room in front of the tank to try and draw it closer there. I've found sometimes it will face the fuge light overnight, which bleeds into the tank just a touch.
Any other thoughts or suggestions? The neam appears to be healthy, eats fine, mouth closed, I just think it was ok with just the blue lights, sees the white lights and says hey, thats even better, and is trying to find them now.
Thanks for all of the help.
