    I think it is just going to take a while to acclimate to my new bulbs (ATI).

    Birds of paradise is a really hardy sps coral, along with other birdsnest corals. This means that it can really go just about anywhere in the tank. Flow is as important if not more. Make sure it is getting some fast but soft flow, alternating if possible. FWIW, when all of my ORA corals arrive, they go directly under ATI T5 bulbs.

    probably nutrient level but could be caused by a daily parameter swing in pH and/or temp
