Its true, Iīve done it in two ocasions to fight dinoflagellates and after 2-3 days of lights out, you turn them back on to find your corals with a way more colorful and intense coloration, they glow and it is obvious!.
They say Sprung explains it in one of his books: reef aquarium vol 1.
In nature sometimes with a storm or cloudy days, corals also spend a few days in darkness.
A friend says its because they expell some excesive xooanthellae. Iīm thinking about doing 2 days of black out twice a month!, starting the day of water change, they seem to respond better this way.
Any experience on this?
