Is that leather coral? I noticed your profile picture and it looks just like my German Shepherd.

I'm fairly new to saltwater, but my leather corals didn't do well until I had them directly in the current. My first black German Shepherd lived almost 13 years and she was the love of my life. I have a year old male now and he is a terror. Be glad you have a female.

Toadstool leathers won't right themselves, you have to stick them upright yourself. Over time, if they aren't perfectly straight they may straighten themselves a little bit, but they can't right themselves like anemones can.

Wait, are they just limp? if they're just limp then they will for sure stand back up. At first it looked like they were placed sideways, my bad! Yes they will stand up by themselves.

They look to be just limp. They came out of a 9 year old tank so I'd be sluggish getting back up as well lol.

We have to pomeranians as well, they are males. Was worried about male dominance when we made the decision to get her. It can be a handful in the house hold but all in all they all get along.

Any good way to get them upright without them shedding and getting all mad at me. Here's my others on the same rock.

She is beautiful and she will be the best friend and protector you have ever had.

IF they are just limp then they'll perk up on their own in the next few days. Of you really want to get then upright you can prop them up with another rock/piece of rubble, but they should fix themselves.
