So I started a small tank(20x8x8) 1 month ago. And last week I added some corals to the tank.
I was waiting my new reef light so I used my older freshwater light for the first few days(about 20% light compare to my current reef tank light)
Before I switched, my pulse coral tries to reach out the light every day(super long and hands towards the surface), and mushroom closed up most of time.
So yesterday I got my reef light. I stupidly turn the light to max output. And now my pulse is in a shock I believed. So I adjust light to 50% blue and 10%white. One of my mushrooms looked like this in the picture. Partially closed with wired shape.
I am using a hypargero led from amazon.
Light above the surface about 2.5 inches.
I have a mushrooms placed 1 inch below surface half close (my shrimps are picking on it everytime)
1 mushroom 2 inch below looks normal and filling opened.
The one in the picture about 4.5 inch below surface.
And a pulse at bottom still in shocked.
So is it normal for mushrooms to looked like this in the picture. Or my light too little or too strong?
