recent true percula purchase

[braincoral39]

I received a couple of true perculas from Marine Depot and they looked great. Only problem, one of the two seems to swim almost frantically. The other has calmed a good bit. When the lights go out, WOW. They swim feverishly. All water parameters are good. Reef tank been up for 5 months and all is well. Any ideas as to why? Went through the acclimation process yesterday for over an hour. These guys are beautiful but I am extremely concerned they will not make it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My chromis freaked for a little while. When the lights went out it scared the heck out of them. Probably normal.

You will startle them less at lights out time if the room light is on when the aquarium lights go out.
