    i have had it for quite some time just never got around to asking, what are the requirements, it seems to do good but it barely has any polyps. or is it just not opening completely?

    Moderate lighting and medium water flow

    you might want to deal with the Aiptasia thats on the left hand side of the image
    as that could possibly be irritating the leather and stopping it reaching its full potential

    but it does not look unhealthy to me

    yes the apraisia has been dealt with already, my tank seems to be filled with aptaisia, it is strange it does not seem to bother the corals,

    also the tank just has like 3 main aptaisia that are maybe 2 inches tall but thats about it there arent any others, and i thought aptaisia multiplied like crazy? but i remove the aptasia anyway. sorry if that confusing.
