My corals hate me...

[TheReefDiary]

My corals refuse to stay out past 7pm. Do they have some sort of natural "internal" clock?

My wife sends me some pictures during the day since they've been in (a week) and there's always completely open. I get home from work and get to see em for 30 minutes before night time for the corals.

Change your light cycle to start and end later. They will adjust.

It starts at 9 and ends at 9:30. How long does it typically take for them to adjust to new lighting?

I think it depends on coral. I find most of my euphyllia adjust pretty quickly(within a week or two). Things like my acans seem to take longer but they seem more influenced by when I feed rather than light cycle anyway.

Find a schedule that's best for you and stick to it. The coral are your pets not vise. You bought them to make you happy so train those female dogs.

Take into consideration any ramp down time. Some of mine start closing as soon as lights start dimming
