All my corals are doing well even have new ones growing.
My corals are fairly new to my tank. All levels are good.
I bought my corals from a guy that was shuting his tank down. All where attached to thier rock. and in good condition.
But now my new finger coral has started to shrink 1 day after placed in tank and contuied. I bought it from the same guy I bought my others , they are all fine... candy , mushroom corals.
The finger has now started to turn white at the bottom and is leaning over, it looks like parts are .....getting darker in color, and they look kinda.. well leathery.
I picked up the rock and the coral is firmly attached.
So what is going on. I have read that dying finger corals can be deadly to the rest of the tank.
BTW I did do a freash water dip before placing in my tank.
PLease any info would be great!!!

Give him some flow. My leathers have to have direct current to fill out.
