So I have my leather (first pic) on rock and it started growing like crazy and it loved it there. That was a month ago. Got a bubble tip anemone and a dragon soul torch from LFS on Sunday. Placed torch on right side and placed my bubble tip where I think it would like. Turned pumps and wave makers off for 30 mins came back did move and still hasn’t moved yet, but the leather branches are going to be touching the anemone. So I placed leather at back a little higher up and closer to wave maker and he’s not ver happy. S(second pic) any advice?

You mean you just moved it now, and its not happy right away? Give it time. Corals don't like to be touched and will retract for a while, when you move a coral it needs time to readjust.

No I moved it Sunday when I put the anemone there. And each day he shrinks up more and more.

So that’s where it was but it’s gotten so big that where the anemone is they will be touching. I thought only certain corals can be placed in sand directly?
