Leather corals in fluval flex 113

Shedding: As with most leather corals they may go through periods when their polyps do not extend. They may shrink and shed some of their outer skin. Do not be alarmed if this should occur as it is a natural process that they go through. These leathers may remain closed for several days at a time but will reopen bigger and more beautiful than ever. Remember to always run carbon in a leather corals tank as when they shed it can be toxic to the other corals
