    If your parameters are in check it should be fine. Give it a couple days. Be patient and keep us posted.

    I agree here. Shipping is very stressful on anything alive. Just make sure your water parameters are great and in a couple more days to a week it will probably liven up. Grats on the new addition. ;D

    It's most likely from shipping, if not I'd lower it to acclimate to the light. I know when I installed LEDs my cloves were pretty upset.
