    Default Leather troubles

    I am hoping that someone can help me out with this as it concerns me quite a bit. I bought a Finger Leather from my LFS last week. At the time it looked great and was about 4-5" tall. It seems that since being in my tank it has been getting smaller and smaller. My water parameters are all in check and I have no problems with my Colt's, Mushrooms and Zoo's. I have placed it about 5" away from any other corals in the tank. I do have it about 6" from the surface of my 125 gallon and am using 4 65 watt PC bulbs with a glass top between the lights and water. It has medium water flow on it also.
    Any idea's?

    I'd say just let her set a while, odds are she'll bounce right back. Our leathers do that somewhat regularly, they'll shrivel up for a couple of days, sometimes as long as a week, and then poof they are back bigger and fuller than they were before. Scared the stuffing out of us more than once before we just accepted it as the way they are.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
