So I picked up this guy from my LFS yesterday, and no matter how I place him he seems to be drooping. Is this normal while it's getting used to it's new home? Thanks in advance!

Looks like normal adjustment. Can take up to a month before it is happy and fully extended. Keep an eye out for black tissue. This is a bad sign. However, a mucous layer will look brownish and then the leather will probably shed. All normal. Nice piece.

Ok, thanks for the info! I will definitely watch for black tissue. I had no idea they could take that long to acclimate.

Yeah you'll start to see a blackish shadow inside of the coral before the entire section rots. If this happens, dip and frag
