Leather coral slouching

[Reefer_Marc]

Good day everyone

I am a little worried about my leather coral.
I moved the tank on saturday, and since then the leather coral is slouched over to one side. Also an anemone walked past it and attached itself to the foot of the leather coral overnight. I removed it when i saw it the next morning.
Now today it looks like its „ripping“ on one side. The anemone was on the other side though.

It didnt open since saturday, but yesterday evening i saw some polyps coming out.

Is this normal after moving a tank and rescaping it? Or should i be worried about the „ripping“? For fragging you’d just cut it anyway and attach it to a rock, so it shouldnt be too bad if it rips right?
I‘d really hate to lose this coral, it was the second one i ever got almost 7years ago.

Thank you very much!

patience likely.

Water flow and light? They do like more flow than most people thing.

But when I've moved and angered mine, they do take a few days to come back. Sometimes longer.

A little bit more light than before the move, i moved it a bit closer because it looked like it reached for the light.
Flow is not too much, a little less than before. The flow would come from the right side, so i didnt want to blast it and make it more slouched to the left.
Should i still increase the flow then?

Im not as much worried about the slouching, more about what seems to be the rip on the base.
Do you think its bad?

I will keep monitoring it.

Very hardy and resilient.

Personally I’d just watch it, but I think it will recover.

Leathers like a good amount of random flow, it helps them stand straight, they will slouch over in low flow.

Leather looks much better today! Still sideways but looks happier. Now im just waiting for it to turn upright
