    While adding a piece of LR to my tank, the sm. piece of rock that had my leather on it got moved during the night to where the leather was turned on it's side. I guess I didn't want to move it because it was closed up, that was a week or so ago and it still don't look so good . Should I try and move it back or will it come around by it's self? :p

    They can stay shrunk up for quite some time if disturbed...up to couple of weeks even.

    If was doing ok at that location before, just leave it alone and be patient...it will come around.

    ;)

    Thanks guys,! I hate asking stupid Q's!! but I didn't know where it turned so much on it's side if it would grow just the same . So here's one for you. If a leather got turned up-side down, will it turn on it's own to grow better or die? I guess what I want to know is do they move to get better light to grow, like a plant does?
