I recently bought my first couple corals for my 8 month old 20 gal tank. I got some gobstopper zoas with 5 heads, sadly one died in transit and assuming they were stressed started shedding off a white layer of film. I can see its slowly starting to go away but now it seems the heads that are open are stretching. Im currently using a current usa orbit ic LED with blues on 100% and whites on at 25% red and greens are at 0%. is it stretching for light or could it be other issues? Thanks guys!
 
I have these lights over my 75 and I'm ditching them, my whites where 60% blues 100% red and green at 10% and it grew coral but not on the bottom of the tank
 
They aren't the most powerful out there. I had black box lighting that I ran at 80 blue 30 white. After switching to Kessil I had to drop them down to 45% because it was browning my coral at anything higher. With new coral always start them low and move up over time until you find the sweet spot.
