    It is possible that it burnt him some. I have fragged leathers, mushrooms, xenis. I find it best to use a rubberband to hold the leather in place until it attachs. you can also use bridal veil to hold these pieces down until they attach. I wouldnt use superglue on softies. only on hard pieces. JMPO

    thanks bruh i was scared i live in pa and corals are hard to get here so you know what that does to the price. so when they are in shock is it normal for them to be slumped over?

    I agree,they're pretty hardy,and he's still adjusting.They will sometimes close up for a while and look pretty bad as they shed a layer of "dead skin and build up on them"I've seen mine do this for up to a week,yours is probably just shocked and adjusting to your tank.Shouldn't be any worries.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Super glue gel is used to attach zoanthids and lps and sps frags so I would not worry about the glue at all.

    He is just getting acclimating.
