WILL THIS FINGERLEATHER BOUNCE BACK?

[drewsreef]

Hello everyone,

I picked up a fingerleather from a friend that tore down his tank. It didnt look to great in his tank but i thought i'd try and save it but im not sure if its even worth trying. I drip acclimated and dipped it in coralrx. Its been a couple days but i notice it looks a lot more pale than when it was in my friends tank. It had a slight hint of green when i put in but now it just looks pale. I put it in the dimmest part of my tank.

Looks OK. Polyps are out. Give it time to acclimate to your tank. Then slowly start to move it up. They love light.

I was thinking it actually looked pretty good.

Many of those finger leathers do show a little more green when they are stressed/shrunk down. Then they seem to go more yellow to light brown when the expand.
I'm thinking whatever green is in it is more concentrated when it's shrunk down and you see it easier.
