As you can see in the picture below my sinularia sp. is hanging over quite a bit. Is this just the way it wants to grow or might there be something wrong or is it too much current? He is in moderate current going from right to left…

Could it be too much light & he wants to move away from it?

looks good to me, My kenya tree does the same thing. If their is too much light it will close up. you can try decreasing the flow.

I decreased it by 1 bar on my jebao wavemaker to check
 
Leather corals just grow weird sometimes.
I see it has polyps out so it doesn't appear to be in distress.
I would spin the rock around that it is mounted on and if it bends back the other way, maybe move it a little.
Flow is important and if you reduce it too much to accommodate one coral, other parts of the tank may suffer.
