Yellow fiji leather

I've got a really bright awesome yellow fiji leather that has been in my tank for probably a year. I recently upgrade my mh lighting to lumenbrights and it has not done well since. It was towards the top of my tank and barely opened or showed polyp extension. I finally got tired of this and moved it down in my tank and it is now fine again. I really want this up top where it was, and was wondering if anyone else has success with this with strong lighting....

If you just upgraded your lighting & didn't provide some type of screening,then the Fiji was probably in shock due to the increased intensity.These leathers prefer strong light,so just move it gradually back up over a few weeks & it should be fine.HTH

I agree with 45commando. My yellow fiji can take couple weeks to adjust itself to new lighting or placement.
