Thanks. There was a lot of purple in it at the lfs but I doesnt show until its only under blues . Do you know if that is because its still getting used to the LEDs?

Different lighting can change colors from what I hear. Never had it occur. But it might be because it is still a new addition.

Is this wellso supposed to inflate this much ? Or is it too little light ?

Ok cool. I am still puzzeled by the lighting thing. My blue LEDs are at 50% and whites only 25%. I had them as high as 40% white but some mushrooms started to bleach. It's been at this level since that incident and I have been to scared to turn them up . Guess if its not broke don't fix it ?

Pretty much. I gave up trying to brainstorm through my radions and just used a graph they promote. So far all looks good, don't know about better though.

My lobo wilted up for a few weeks about three months ago. Thought it was a goner, and then one day it just started inflating again, and no issue since.

Not sure why or what changed. Can't really say how long to not worry, cause I was worried the whole time.

Alright thanks tim and fort. The temp outside went from 60 to 20 the next day and back to 60 since this happened . Maybe it has something to do with the barometric pressure even though it is the only coral effected. I'll just hurry up and wait for now. Thanks

Well I bit the bullet and make my first online coral order. Shipping is so expensive I doubt I would do it again but I could not find this coral anywhere locally. If all goes as planned I should be picking it up from FedEx Saturday .
