the entire coral is bent. or you are talking about the curve it has. if so. that leather look very normal to me. by the way you have a nice one.

That pic is of a coral like I have, not my coral. I dont' have a pic of it yet. Mine is almost 90 degress from top to bottom. It will not stand straight up as of yet, I was considering putting it next to the glass a few days to straighten it up but don't know if that will help

What are your water parameters, and how is your flow?

Is that an anenome? Is your tank only a couple of months old?

Mine does this occasionally, usually a flow issue. You might want to adjust a little more flow to it and see if it straightens up. Also If ther is a film on it just gently wipe it off and it will come back up in a few days. I've had mine curl up like it is dead for up to three days then it it back out like nothing ever happened. Mine does not like any changes tho.

mine was bent over for a few days when I first put it in, and does it sometimes at night, but straightens up after the lights come on. I believe it lets some of the water out of itself and that couses it to bend over.Bob
