    I agree, if their is no tissue damage then should be fine however if their is a tear or rip in the base this can lead to infecting and the dimise of leathers( happened to me last year with a big colt coral in a avalanch in my tank.) solution/prevention = iodine dip

    It should be fine. Just keep an eye on the coloration and appearance of the stalk/stem of the leather. I would imagine that anything serious happening to the coral would be shown in that area IMO.
