Are these beyond saving?

[Ricky101]

So during Hurricane Irma I lost power for about 10 days. Tank was maintained only with battery bubblers and sunlight from nearby windows. Everything looks good except for my Miami Vice zoas.

This is what they looked like a couple days before the loss of light:

This is what they look like now:

Yesterday I changed my lights from the stock biocube 32 LEDs to an AI prime HD. Are these beyond saving or will they regain their colors?

I’d leave them and not mess with them. Good chance they will bounce back

I agree with gator. Just leave them for now and give it a chance to come back. I've had some that looked gone before and they've managed to come back. As long as they continue to open, there is a chance.

Awesome thanks guys! Just gonna leave them there and keep up my regular feeding and such.

The fact that you changed the light right now could screw up the whole thing only because it has been 10 days without light.
So go very slow with the new lights!!!
They will come back to normal if you don't offer too much light after 10 days without it.
Even the other zoas and corals will have to adapt to the new lights big time...
Good luck!

I think everything worth saving ! Have you seen our ocean reefs ? I think it our responsibility to do all we can .

... you’ll be fine.
Just don’t get spicey and start changing things up or start doing a whole bunch of needless h2o changes; leave them be and they’ll come around.

I started out the lights using the Prime’s acclimation mode with 80% reduction. It’ll slowly creep up for the next month
