Floppy Cabbage Leather Coral

[Rycko_427]

today i picked up like 3 pieces of cabbage leather coral and put them in my tank. Once in there, i notices a bit later that they were flopping down from their original position where i placed them. So i moved them to another rock cuz i figured they might be floppin over cuz of the way i placed them or cuz of a current or something, idk..Im not sure if this is normal or not? or if its just something that happens at first when you put cabbage coral in a new tank or what?

well best to find what placement was in the prior tank place in the best matching spot in your tank after you acclimate and dip it of course at a minimum qt is best practice. but leave it alone and let it settle in then you will see it go back to the upright position. Some corals will take some time to get used to a tank. some more than others.

ah i see..well hopefully the new spot where i placed them will be better for them and that they harden up a bit in the next couple of days when they get used to the tank
