I have noticed when my light goes out at night that the corals I have all close up though sometimes they will go in and out for a time. They don't do this during the day unless they are moved/upset. Is this normal behaviour or could I have a problem? Do corals have a rest period where they do this/is this the time they eat or......???

yep they are sleeping. Most of my soft corals all got small and tucked in at night. Some of my sps do and some don't.

All is fine no reason to worry:)

Phew, thanks for that reply. Ever since I set up this tank I have been worrying over every little thing, lol. (I suppose being a nit-picker may just come in handy in reefing haha :lol: )
