If your corals are brown you need more light.

So no flatworms or eggs etc. I may crank up the light a bit this weekend when I have time. My big purple acro and green acro RTN'd on me through the move ugh.. lol this is life I guess but got the ato hooked up and an aquadoser so the tank is finally (kind of) high tech :P

well, there is that.....maybe the tank just needs to settle a bit after the move before you will see better PE?

Kenny, when I bought my first SPS, I thought there was an issue too, but it took a couple days for them to calm down before I saw any PE
Plus, some that I have don't seem to extend much during the day as their polyps are quite short

If you'd like to check for PE, give your fish something frozen right before lights out, then watch for about a 1/2 hour after lights out
My corals close a bit when the lights turn on/off, then come back to normal, and I get crazy PE after lights out, even without a feeding

And if I overfeed during lights on, more crazy PE
