swelling leather

creativereasons · 10-04-2006, 07:26 AM

ok i have 1 finger leather coral and 1 cabbage leather coral and they both r swelled big time i have checked my chemisty and salinty and everything seemd to be fine however they have been like that for a couple of days. They do however have the molting stuff comeing off of them. Should i worry or would they be fine.

Hard to say for sure without a picture but Leathers do close up for a few days and shed their top mucus layer

Moved you to the softie section for better help. a pic would be nice but it sounds like a normal molt.

Sounds normal to me

well i think i have figured out why they r so swollen its because they wasn't getting enough lighting so i moved them and now they r shrinking back down. Thanks for all the help

Yup they close up at night and then open up a lot when the lights are on....

swollen leather= happy leather

I must say if you moved him and he quit swelling up.........you should move him back
