    Point taken, most of the corals I have seen just adapt pretty quick so I was hoping for some wam blam change. I shall be patient.

    And as much as I don't want it to be the case looks like its my favorite clown goby causing the problem. He loves the pink lemonade. guess I have to make a frag rack for my 90 so I can keep the frags up high.

    Hopefully it will grow ok if I move it to the 90 which is less established with less lighting... Don't want to move it but the goby isn't making it happy.

    my clown goby did the same thing. Funny thats why i asked about your tank inhabitants. Good Luck, if he isn't eating polyps hes mounting them too much lol. My Green Clown ate polyps at night.

    He gave up perching in the torch for the lemonade. I haven't seen any polyp eating just sitting on it constantly. i'm gonna make a rack to hold the frags about 2 inches under the water surface on the 90 right under the light

    Keep in mind what that will do to the coral. I did that with a Red Planet for the same reasons and it was bleached fr a year. Seriously a year. I just no in the last couple weeks got color back and looks good.

    n i moved it two inches from the top of my tank and damn near light shocked it to death. I didnt think it would be a big issue since i only had a 4 bulb T5 and its was an ACRO!!!... I was a noob.
