    I got my first corals today!! 4 frags--2 zoo 1 torch and a green leather.
    All have opened up and look great, but I got some glue on the green leather and he has not re-gained his color yet (has been about an hour) Does it take awhile for leathers?? Do I just wait?? I am very comfotable with fish, but just as uncomfortable with corals. Thanks

    hey Robman
    leathers IME can open the same day or even a couple of days after being introduced
    I think water chemistry and lighting are key here, if the conditions of your tank are close to the conditions in dealers tank - then same day opening is likely
    but what your experiencing is normal give it a day or 2 and I reckon it will be fine
