Hey everyone, so I just got this new fiji leather coral from my LFS. They had it about 6 months and it looked great, so I picked it up. I have an established reef tank already with Zoas, torches, hammers, and acans and thought this would be a good addition. For some reason though, after a day it started to turn this grayish blue color. I read it could be from stress or possible shedding but im unsure if this coral does that type of growth. If anyone can shed some light on this id appreciate it. There were xenias also on the same rock as the Fiji leather and they are opened up and doing great. My water parameters are also perfect. All the other corals are doing fine. Thanks everyone!
Heres a picture of it http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t406/dxbullet19/20130715_181928.jpg
 
It might be getting ready to shed. (shuts down/turns color/ thinking, etc) They'll do this from time to time. (normal) I'm not sure if that's a Fiji leather though. More of a run of the mill Sinularia IMO. GL.
 
Kinda normal. Mine was super ****y for like 3 months. Then it straightened out and got into a regular routine. Good luck and just try to ignore it. :)
