Not getting enough PAR, bad distribution of light (super hot in middle, dead on edges), and bad control methods.
Definitely the heat from MHs.
Not enough par

Most animals, plants and even people do better with a natural light cycle. To think it would be different for photosynthetic corals doesnt make sense. The closer we can mimic nature the better our reefs may do.

I could probably synch them with the been of light from the window so it's a little more expected.
How might natural light synchronization improve the biological rhythms of corals in a reef tank?
DAILY QUESTION ANSWER:
- Spawning Events: Many marine organisms, including corals, time their spawning events with the lunar cycle, often during a full moon. This synchronization increases the chances of successful fertilization by ensuring that many individuals release their gametes at the same time.
- Day-Night Cycles: The Sun also drives daily light cycles that influence the behavior of many reef organisms, including their feeding, reproduction, and other activities.
- Light Influence: The Moon’s light can also influence the behavior of reef organisms, such as guiding nocturnal activities.
