Unhappy finger leather? And more!

[fox0521]

Hey folks! I’ve got a couple questions today!

1. Added a finger leather maybe 2 weeks ago. I’ve tried a few different placements, but it still seems to be “stretching” for light?
2. My blue legged hermits are jerks to each other, no big deal. But now they’re picking at my corals! I’ve found them on my anacropora, Kenya trees, and now my finger leather. Are they cleaning or causing harm?
3. I have some palythoas that seem to have an “umbrella” shape. Is this caused by too low of lighting? Normal? Cause for concern?

55 gallon system, lights are 2 ai prime 16hd. I’ll post parameters later, but I know that I’ve never had any major swings. Parameters usually sit around: salinity should be 1.025-1.026, calcium around 450-460, pH around 8-8.2, temp about 78.5.

thanks!

Hermits do nip at corals occassionally. i wont be too worry with the leather unless the wound is significantly big. I'll advice to wait and observe and take action if things escalate. Low light is actually a good strategy for coral acclimation,
