Green finger leather?

Hello, 

 

This is my first attempt at getting some help.

 

My leather coral looks like it developed some brown around the stem. Does this look fine?

 

It opens fine and it only shrank a bit. It looked a lot bigger before. I added an old photo of how it used to look. Thanks for any input.

Mmm sometimes they'll shrink up in an attempt to rid themselves of bacteria and algaes, usually once a month or so. If you see that happening, don't panic.

I will wait to see if it goes back to how it was. I added the first picture I took when I first introduced it to the tank.

That's normal.

 

Leathers shrink up periodically to shed detritus, it's also a process of growth. When they open up, they are bigger.

 

If a leather does this too frequently, it's unhappy with it's placement.

 

They like light and decent flow.
