Finger Coral

I have had my finger coral in my tank for a little of a month now. It is doing really great and has grown and adapted to the tank very well. Though i just got back from vacation and my mother was taking care of my tank. I had a day by day schedule for her to follow, but when i got home yesterday i realized my finger coral was a little droopy and not looking 100%. When i woke up this morning it was back to its normal self. When i got home today though it is back to looking droopy again? Not understanding why. All i did to the tank today was added a tiny amount of Aquaveta fuel and fed the fish. Thoughts ?

I have a leather that "deflates" for periods of time between periods of "stretch" as normal behavior, or so I believe. You always need to include setup and water parameter with about any question if you want meaningful input.

Good luck.

If it's a finger leather, then yes, it's perfectly normal for them to shrink, droop from time to time. Some do it for a few days at a time before sloughing off their outer layer, then they perk up again.
