    Well it was ok for about 2 days then bent over again and has been in the "shutdown" for about 3 days now... But I'm glad to hear it's normal behavior. I'd never have thought that was normal behavior.

    hmmmm

    So they can do this for a month or loonger? It's been 5 days now and It looks like it's loosing mass... do you think maybe I should give him a dip in some medicine for 30 minutes or so? Or you think it's just normal "shutting down" behavior?

    All my other coral including other leathers are fine. Water params good.
