Hi all - I'm guessing I know what the issue is here, but I wanted to get some more experienced opinions. I moved these two rock flowers from a 29bc about 5 weeks ago. They were under a Radion x30 at about 25% intensity. Now, they're in a 200 under a couple of Radion x30s at about 45% (there are three on the tank but two overlap their area). I'd say they're halfway up the 24in tank and lights are 12in above water line - so 24in from lights.

I feed them 2 or 3 times a week with little squirts of whatever I'm feeding tank (reef frenzy mostly, some mysis)

Lately, they've been doing this....the one on the left lifts up like that and the one on the right is just huge.

My guess: not enough light?

Problem is I had the lights jacked up to peaking at 55% and stuff bleached out...maybe I can start inching them up higher and higher now...

Thoughts? Thanks.
 
I don't know about the rock nem, but the 1 on the right is a maxi mini and can get up to 7 inces across :)
 
Oh jeeze - so I was way off from the beginning.

So a maxi mini eh? No clue about those beyond just a quick google search. They have been on that rock next to each other for probably 6 months total. Should I try and move them apart?
