GBTA and foxface don't like blue light?

[Leo95]

Hey Guys,

So every morning when my light schedule kicks in gradually, my anemone closes up after being beautifully bubbled up only an hour earlier. It hasn't tried to move or anything, but like clockwork, when lights kick on, he closes up for a while.... any reason for concern/adjustment?

Also my foxface has been stressing a lot lately, no change in water chemistry, just the lighting being turned on about a week ago. He turns almost completely brown at nights. Water parameters are pristine and he's well fed and energetic during feeding time...

Any advise would be helpful.

Thanks!

Right now i'm running 1 Kessil AP9X, running the default tuna blue program.

Simulates morning to night with rising and dropping intensity and concentration of blue lights

It is normal for some fish to lose their color at night. I would stress about this, I think they'll get used to the light.

Are the livestock new? A BTA will usually walk around to find a happy place. If new, BTAs are very finicky.

Fox faces in general are easily scared. Make sure you have plenty of swim room and feed him a good diet. Also, if a new addition, it will take time for him to get settled.

All livestock are in for at least a month already. Longest residents are at 3 months.
