    Colt corals

    I came home from a weekend away and noticed two things. One my colt is alldrooped over and one of my lamps did not light this morning. This particular lamp is the 10k sunpack which means sometime during the weelend my photo period was just with the actnics on and shorter than normal. Could this be the cause. I have had this coral for 2 weeks and all was fine. For the time being I moved it to my fuge which has better lighting until I get home to repair.
    Also any special; feedings needed for a colt ?
    Thanks Mike

    I recently tried an experiment of turning my lights off for three days. There was some reported benefit to it. Took another 3 days for all colts/leathers to fill out again. Not trying that again. :(

    No, to feeding, they just want light and whatever else is already floating about in tank.
