    Hi guys.
    Last week i got my first two corals, a lavender mushroom and a cauliflower colt coral.
    The mushroom looks better every day .
    Now i am worried about the colt because he looked more close and alive and yesterday he wasnt doing that well.
    The pict on the left was on Day 2 and the one on the right is from Day 6.
    (Please bare with me, they are my first ones and i dont want them to die)

    This is the lavender. My 3 peppermint shrimps were bothering him at the beginning but that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

    FTR, leathers can take several days to 3 or 4 weeks to fully acclimate themselves to their new environment. Looks perfectly fine so far. :)

    I see more Polyp extension on day 6 than on day 2. definitely looks healthy to me.

    Good spot too, as they grow rapidly,

    Hiii!!!
    I had to move the hairy mushroom and since that moment i noticed that the head or the mouth (i dunno how to call it) its been out for too long.
    Is this normal??
