Hey guys, still totally new and I’ve been doing research but just cannot seem to come to a conclusion on my Cabbage Leather. This is about the 4th day I’ve had it and it has a top part with two small sections, and one large section. The top part is opening up nicely, but looks like an area is turning brown (red circle). The large portion has stayed closed since I got it but today it seems shiny (yellow circle) which seems to follow what I’ve read about shedding? It gets good flow, but it is not hitting the coral directly in the middle, but you can see movement from flow on the edges of the coral.

It’s a 16G Biocube with Stock lighting and a Jebao OW-10 wavemaker.

Well in the probably 200+ posts about these corals I never saw anything about splitting haha! Thanks so much =) I was very excited to get it and was going to be sad if I killed it already.
