my purple ricordea mushroom came this morning. its been under just the 40w actinic for like 5 hours, so i just turned on the 40w daylight and within minutes it puckered up a bit. it didnt shrink totally just like some shrooms balled up.
it was open all day under the actinics
does this puckering ball behavior indicate it didnt like the bright light all of a sudden? or is this normal and i can keep the light back on?

The coral will adjust to the light and your water conditions, it will be fine and I wouldnt worry.

so its not going to come off the rock and float around? that sounds silly but it almost looked like it was coming off.
now its flattened out again :)
i guess tomorrow ill start the normal light cycle

If it doesn come off it will re attach to rock, and it is no biggie.
