question.
yesterday my xenias were pumping like this

now today when they pump they dont close the whole way. they go half way. can that be cause i move the stuff around? is that normal? i want them to go back how they use to in the pic above. maybe cause of the moving they got a little angry?
please help anyone

Yeah they are PO'd. Like if your parents moved you from Miami to say Buffalo New York where they get 96 inches of snow per year.
Flow may be different, lighting may be different, they may just be mad at the handling they have gone through. Give them a while and let them settle in. If they don't go back to normal in a few days think about where they were before, what light and flow they were getting, then try to move them to a place that mimics that original place.

think about it, can't be the same as you have moved the rock around and created different currents within the tank and possibly different shadow or light penetration where the coral now is. And yes it can be they have been handled and will take time to adjust. Just leave them be for a couple of days and let them reacclimate.

k well in the first chamber i have nothing. in the second chamber the water falls to a pad of filter pad to the middle. then i have 2 black sponges hold my cup of mud and a peice of lr rubble. in the cup i have holes so the water can flow through the chaeto and lr with the mangrove. then it goes to chamber 3 and in chamber 3 there is a bag of chemipure elite.
thanks for explaining. By the way Nissian, very inspiration rock setup, i like how there are little ledges that create a cave beneath them. Thats very cool, i may have to steal your idea
