? about moving a coral

[stuccodude]

when you notice after a week or so that the coral does not look as happy as when you bought it and you move it, more flow/less flow/more light/ less light etc after you move it, how long do you wait to move again when the new spot it doesnt seem to help. thanks

it really depends on the type of coral. what are we talking about?

Leathers should be ok in most areas. What are your params.
But....to answer your question, i would move a piece of sps in 5 days if no improvement. I wouldn't move a leather at all unless it was getting too much flow.

leathers can look dead and droopy for long periods of time. soemtimes more than a week. i would wait 4 days or so. but it really depends on what it looks like. my cabbage leather will look awful for a day or 2 if i move it too much and then look absolutely fine.
