Is this normal

Good day Guys

I am new to the game of corals.
Anne help will be appreciated.
I bought a leather finger about a week ago.
When introduced to the tank it started shedding.
The fingers were nice an straight but some started leaning over.
Secondly my torch coral tend to withdraw the tentacles of its lower polyps.
Is this normal

The finger leather is shedding and they need a medium to strong waterflow for that so make sure it does, the torch corals lower polyps aren't getting enough light

Hi thank you very much for the reply.
The leather is getting quite a strong current and seem so be shedding quite easily.
I'm just waryd about the torch. there is no way of plasing it without some of the polyps not being shaded by others.
