New Coral Problems

[the_bandit]

Today, I decided to go to my LFS and buy an Xenia and a Kenya tree. I have placed them in the sand bed for now so they can get adjusted. They seem to have shriveled up. Is this normal for these types of corals to do this? I checked my parameters yesterday and everything checked out. I also did a 10% water change too. I have live sand and live rock with 2x 12000K, 2x Actinic T5 lights 216w total.

It can take them awhile to open back up.. you just pissed them off by moving them and they need time.

Ok they are opening up now but the xenia is not opening its ends and the kenya tree is tipping over.
Any ideas?

gv it time. most corals will take 1-3 days, if not longer to adjust.
