coral doesnt like new bulbs?

[michelleolds]

i replaced the bulbs that came with my nova extreme lighting last week. ever since then my finger leather has been closed up. should i move it further away from the light or just wait. he's never been closed up this long before and i'm starting to get nervous.

It will take time to acclimate to the increased luminal dosage.
This is why I replace bulbs one at a time.

Yeah, you should really replace only one bulb a week until they are all in. It will just take time like Bang said.

ok, its about 2 weeks now and its still closed and now ive noticed my colt corals are not opening either. checked all my water stuff and everything is good. i gave the leather a dip in some lugols and tank water this morning cause i couldnt think of anything else to do. anyone got any ideas whats going on. this is the first time ive ever had any coral problems
