Changed my lighting system yesterday from a current 48” v1 to 2 hydra 26s set to the David Saxby lighting schedule but will be in acclimation mode for the next month. Came home today and the nem looked horrible...should I be worried?
it moved about 6-7” down further in my rock work, it’s not inflated at all and I can see it’s mouth is clearly wide open. Is there anyway for me to help the little critter?

I am assuming that you don't have a PAR meter to know the difference in the lighting. Have there been any other changes?
Nothing else has been changed recently with the exception of a few new added corals.
but the issues I’ve seen with the nem didn’t start until today

Just remembered I removed the light from my refugium.
light burned out so I got a replacement, kessil h350 but have no way to mount it.
I will be getting a mount for it this Friday.

How is it doing?

Only commenting basically as a bump for you.

Only thought would be the new lights are a lot stronger than the current marine one. Perhaps back off and do an even more conservative acclimation? Do the new lights have UV? Did the old ones?

As noted in your other thread. Too much light too quick. Use the acclimation mode on the lights to slowly ramp up power.

It sounds like it is a stronger light. The Nem has moved deeper into the tank where the light is less intense and at a level which is more to its liking.

Pulled the thing today.
Just seemed like the right thing to do.
