Dieing Leather
Which would be the more likely cause of this cabbage leathers demise? Too much light or not enough light. Hes at 10" under water, 260w PC. He's deff not happy!

You may have to move it around the tank a bit and make sure it has proper water flow around the coral and it will let you know if it likes it in that spot or not!
If it is really looking bad I would frag some good parts and start over with them!  |

Its perched at the highest peak with 2 alternating powerheads aimed at it. I'll lower it and see what happens. Prob is that the little frag on the bottem of the tank doesnt look that great either.?????

These are lagoonal species of octocorals and will do much better with less currebnt. try moving them down to areas where you may not have much current. They will usually thrive in areas where they cn get moderate lighting ((moderate shade under MH's, direct middle light if VHO's, mid level lighting under PC's).
These are like all leathers, they will pout a bit until they get accustomed to your tiank. They may slime a bit as well, but they will usually recover well after a week or so.

Ooops, sorry guys...
The cabbage is actually 2 on one rock. The first one seems to open out for a day or two and then shrink back. The other has stayed shrunk (is that a word?) back. They're down in the bottom, sorta protected by liverock. I dont know what else to do. Everything else in the tank is thriving. Are these cabbage leathers particularly sensitive to any certain condition or additive? I have basic test kits but not for things like iodine, stronthium (sp?)
Thanks for following up on this thread. Very nice of yall!
Oh, and have a good *onday

Sometimes they get real waxy and stay like that for a few days. Not much to do but wait.
