My leathers (a few of them anyhow) often do what yours does., Its not
uncommon for leathers to shed a slime or mucous layer and some of mine
even get a funky black color like they are dead or dying, but they
seem to do just fine without any intervention. I found that they like
some current to kepp them cleaned off, but not a lot of flow. As to
lights, well, I have em up high and down low and all have been fine,
but I do not use MH. I really do nnot think they require as intense of
lighting as MH provides, but should in time acclimate to new lights. 2
weeks is not all that long of a time frame for some corals.......You
calcium is kind of high, but its not a problem that it is deadly to
anything, so I owuld work at getting it back down to 450 to 500 max
with ALK around 11 or so. Looks like evcerything else if fine with
water parameters.
