I purchased this coral 12/03 this past monday. My ?? I have for yall is about how long befor I should start seeing him start to open?? He looked very healthy at my LFS but that allways does mean anything.. I do have other corals in my tank and they are all doing well. This is my first leather and he looked very nice at the fish store.. please let me know what yall think...

Nice Lobophytum. Give it a week or so to get used to the tank and the polyps should open up. It will go through these phases where it will open up and then shut down for awhile. Just part of the growing process.

It's fine. And it might shed some skin too, but don't worry.

I agree - any signs of opening yet?

I'll post some new pics as soon as I see it open up...
Just fraged my first coral ... I had some green strip shrooms on
a rock 3"x6" just completly covered in shrooms with babys on the way. So I took a hammer and flat head screw driver and broke in to three pieses. Now my babys can get some light I hope I did not kill any of them...

I think your Devil's Hand Leather is fine, just give it time to adjust.
