Is this Normal for a Umbrella Leather Coral.

[tip4me]

I just received these yesterday, they were both standing up but now one is bent over with mucus coming off. Hope it is normal? Any comments would be helpful.

 

[Lincutis]

yes. They naturally shed as they grow and also when stressed. It should come out fine in a few days.

 

[Animagus]

These corals like lots of light & lots of flow IME. Those stronger currents will keep the coral free from detritus and also keep the shedding to a minimum. They don't like to be fiddled with either, so find a spot where both these needs are being met and just leave it alone. GL.

Mine deflate/close up every night and open back up the next day. They are beautiful when they are fully extended.
