torch question

[coralreefer]

I have a 75 gallon reef that runs on T5's. I recently switched from the stock bulbs (current USA) to Ati bulbs. When I made the switch, my torch coral doesn't fully extend. Do I need to put it lower in the tank?
any suggestions are welcome, as this is one of my favorite corals

Did you use any sort of light acclimation (lower corals, raising lighting, decreasing hours the lights are on for)?
If the torch is higher up, I would lower it, they prefer moderate lighting.
When changing lighting, even just to new bulbs, it is very important to acclimate the corals in the tank.

give it time. the coral is acclimating to the new light.

Took my Torch 2 weeks to fully extend after my lighting switch.
