    To this point during my initial transfer into my tank I just used a couple of cups to relocate him. tonight I pressed the back of my hand into it while setting a rock.

    Luckily it has collected so many shells, rocks and even some macro algae on its back that I felt the *****les, got a scrape but nothing got in deep enough to break off.

    I am going through the same things with two Koralia powerheads, a K4 and a new Koralia evolution 1050gph in my 90g. My corals all closed up so I point them more towards the surface. Perhaps I should have waited to see if they would have adjusted? I was just worried they didnt like it?

    Yes, I would give it a day to see how they react.

    Watching mine today the only thing that has not fully opened up is the Kenya tree and the leather everything else is looking good. I'll monitor those two for reaction further.

    All of the fish seem fine, the clowns are still hanging out in the corner with the 240 but that's where they rest at night so that's just their comfort zone.
