About amonth ago i ditched my PC's and added 542 watts of lighting over my 55... It seems like since then my Colt has looked like crap...it still stands up right but it doesnt open like it used to...
My RBTA's have also looked bad... Arms have gotten really short and at times look shrivilled..
Other corals that are doing really well are:
Bubble coral
Frog Spawn
Mushrooms
Ricordia
Gonipora
Candy Cane
Toad Stool Leather
2 differnt Xenia colonys
I dont know why my RBTA and my Colt look so bad...
Water quality is good.

The colt my be going through alittle shock because of the light intensity change. try moving it done. I run MH over my tank, I have a colt. I lowered my lighting 2" and the colt didnt like it at all. Moved it back up and the colt is doing great.. it seems there alittle sensitive..

yeah softies often look worse under intense lighting because they dont have to expand to reach for the dim light that is usually provided to them with PC lighting as compared to MH
when i ran PC's i had about 500W my colt was growing and huge then i switched to 500W of 20K DE MH lighting and 180W of 10K PC lighting its not as expanded anymore since it gets a ton of light and doesnt need to reach out anymore to soak it all up
give it time should be fine!
