Corals opening wider under T5's

[miktrav]

Yesterday after the transformers for my Hydra's got wet I unplugged them and put them in desicant to be on the safe side. While they were out of commission I began using my old T5 fixture to tide my corals over. For the whole day yesterday and today my corals have all been fully extended and open. I haven't seen this kind of polyp extension under my Hydras. I am actually thinking of going back to my T5 fixture. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Maybe but the corals look better under the T5s and the T5s have been very good to my corals in the past.
