Leather Toadstool peeling?

[Newbie4045]

Hi all,
I have had this leather coral for a couple of months now. It is on the bottom of the tank so I dont think it is bleaching... All polyps are out during the day as you can see from the pics but at night the polyps withdraw and the skin seems to be shedding/receding. Is anything wrong with it? Thank you.

It's perfectly fine
Leathers will do this from time to time as they shed their skin.

It could do that from 2 days to 2 weeks and still be fine. If you have several leathers in a tank, chances are at least one of them will look like that at any given time. ;)

Awesome! Thanks for confirming guys!

Leathers are very finicky. They don’t always look happy and will look like they’re wilting sometimes. Their polyps sometimes retract and they have a shiny look as they shed. Then come back again. Best to run fresh carbon.
