Struggling Leathers???

bphelps81 · 05/15/2012, 11:07 AM

My leathers are struggling. (toadstool and sinularia) I bought a complete setup with corals included.

All of the other corals seem to be doing fine (zoas, gorgonians, elegance, hammers, torch, xenia, antlelia, mushrooms, blastomussa, favites)

Does anyone have any thoughts on why just these leathers would be having a rough time?

How are they struggling? Some more details would help.

It is not unusual for leathers to close up for extended periods of time occasionally.

They are closed up and drooping/falling to the side. The toadstool is starting to lose color used to be neeon green, now its lighter like its getting bleached). It "fell over" about 3 week ago and it hasnt perked back up. The sinularia closed up and started tilting about a week ago....

What are your water parameters? Also do you have high flow on them?
