Yuma shrinking

[zaiqiu]

Like to seek views and comments on what could have caused this Yuma to close up....could it be light too strong? I am running maxspect razor at max 15%.

Others yumas are doing fine though...

Thanks for any advice.

Yuma close up is ok, is not sick. Green yuma are tougher 

Could be many reason, probably you could provide more detail

your yuma closing all day?

new yuma?

By the way, yuma is not LPS, you can post in soft coral section instead.

From my experience, I would think you can try putting it under shade and try. My yumas had the same problem, they cannot be out in the open, they will shrink and looked burnt. Once I move them into shade, they opened up and some are producing babies.

Slightly shaded with less flow is the way to go!

Yes you are correct saying it right.

Some Yuma species IME like the orange ones prefer more light than the green ones but yes all of them close up under stronger flow

Relocate at low flow area and it open open up soon

[soggycookies]

Yup high flow can even cause them to detach from the rock they’re on

Sometime i like to do experience on cheaper coral to see their adaptability. Knowledge gain will help me do better.

I just experienced this as well. Water parameter and lighting all stable, mushrooms all doing fine for months, suddenly over a week, one by one started to shrink and died. Other corals all doing well. I haven’t seen any fish picking on them too. Nothing about normal in the tank. Still puzzled what happened

They don’t like strong lights. Indirect light and Low flow. Maybe u could just double check on ur parameters again.
