I recently bought a refractometer and noticed my salinity level was almost 1.030. So I lowered it to 1.025, and now all of my corals have been closed for the past week but my fish are doing great. Are my corals in shock or something?

How quickly did you lower it? You may have shocked the corals and killed the snails if you lowered it too fast.

Wow.... That's what shocked them. It should have been lowered over a weeks time at the minimum

They should but dont be surprised to see them closed for a week
I noticed since I lowered the salinity, there is a lot of brown algae growing on the glass and my rocks look darker then before. Why is this? I thought getting my salinity down to where it is suppose to be was better then leaving it too high.
