Leather Question

[bender77]

So I got a new leather question today and I have him placed the best I can. The base was kind of funny shaped. It's kind of turned and facing the back of the tank and when it expanded, one edge is touching the glass (I didn't realize it was that close) If I give it time, will it turn and reposition itself or will I have move it.

No it likes its spot...can you turn the rock around?

Not really, I may try something tomorrow. I did break off one of the base rocks it came on an a little flesh pealed off. I planted the rock in another tank, just incase it decided to grow me another

I think these leathers are going to kill me, why do I keep buying them

I guess it's because I like them. After tomorrow and the gorgonian I'm getting, I'm through touching this tank for awhile

Leathers do get big...I hate to cut on them.

I know, and I don't want to cut either. This leather was attached to 4 individual long tube rocks, so I removed a couple to make placement better. I do know I will have to cut on them eventually, but I hope not for a long time, and I hope I have them far enough apart as not to cause chemical warfare.
I think I need a 12 step program. Someone help me

OK, I couldn't take it, I moved him. I didn't like it smooched against the glass. Let's see if it likes it new place

LOL...let me know how it works out..they are pretty hardy. Critters and coral do their own thing...A lady once told me...if I didn't like something in my tank, leave it alone, it will change in a week. It always has.

Well, this is him before I moved him

This is now, I think he's just as happy and not squished, which makes me happy
