Hey guys, tank has been going for 6 weeks now and I added my 1st corals. Question, I added some green something polyps (I forget the name already) and when the start of my light cycle turns on the blue spectrum the polyps open nicely as soon as the blue switches to full spectrum the polyps close. I have a radion xr 15 running on the traditional reef program. I also have a rose tip anemone that loves the full spectrum but doesnt care for the blue start up light. What to do?
 
The lighting may be too intense...especially if you are using one of the canned programs that are included. Did you acclimate the coral to the lighting? The Radions are extremely strong.....I am running two of the Pros at no higher than 60% intensity in the 18-20K range.
