I have had this leather for 2 years. It has grown fast from a mini frag to a 6" in diameter thru the years. every once in a while it retracts to remove the algae build up and opens a couple days after. I am worried, It's been past a week and it's still not cleaning the algae from its's surface like it usually dose. Is there anyone who has seen this and is it normal?, Is there anything I can do to help this coral?. I ruled out water parameters, They are in spec, or the other large leather I have would do the same along with it.

It might be shedding mine stayed in for a quit a while, then finally shedded! I wouldn't be worried!
Yea, softies are finicky. Someone peckin at it? May be its shedding, can you see a glaze of the surface of it? And, finally, mine do the same thing, he may close up for a week then come back open, sucks but thats just what they do. As long as your not seeing it start to dissolve away, he's fine.

The good thing about shedding is when they open after shedding there bigger!

Mine is at that longer than usual spell. I'm waiting and waiting. I've had it for over 1 year and it always retracts and sheds and IMHO it looks bigger everytime. My green finger coral does the same. Keep us posted thanks.
