Leather coral problems

[Carlson Moncrief]

My leather coral has this wierd shiny coating on him and he's not opening up. He's not shedding his skin either. At first I thought I might of been slime from a snail?

He did topple over yesterday I don't know if that could have anything to do with it

Here's a side view. His roots ( if that's what there called) are showing more than normal

This happens to my leather from time to time. If it doesn't clear up in a couple days you can gently try to blow the mucus off with a syringe or turky baster. If the coral still doesn't open up, or re-coats itself after you've removed the mucus, you may want to try moving it to a new spot in the tank. just to ensure that nothing is bothering it in its current location.

Yup^. Leathers just do this, you can also try giving the coral a tad more flow.

Pug it in more flow last night. Saw that it's peeling off this morning while the lights were ramping up. Thanks!
