My corals shrink during the day

[Jmm07e]

I think it's a function of too much light, but I'm not sure. It could be feeding.

Everyday my corals shrink, and in the mornings expand.

Any reasons or suggestions?

They are probably getting too much light. What type of lighting do you use?

Is it a new frag that's acclimating?

Those corals can usually tolerate high light levels if it done slowly as it try to adapt by adjusting its zoox and color pigment levels.. however if change is too fast usually results in retraction, esp where they were is very different from where they are now.

This is the third day, so they're probably still adjusting

I'd still dial the light down a bit. If your tank generally needs higher light levels then you can use the AI primes acclimation mode that starts with a reduction then automatically slowly adjust the levels back up to the original level over a 3 - 4 week period

I found it, you can see on the top right of my first screenshot there is a moon, click that for future readers, then it'll bring you to a page to click lunar or acclimation mode
