Well I switched lights a couple months back from a 150W hanging pendant to a 150W fixture with legs so about 8" closer to the tanks surface. On top of that the old bulb was wicked old. Knowing it was a new bulb, closer to the surface, i assumed it would be a shock to all the corals so i adjusted my photoperiod accordingly. Most of my corals adjusted fine, except for my finger leather which blacked over. I know they shed the outer layer but apparently it just never recovered because this is what it looks like today.
It was covered by a mass of caulerpa so i removed the rock the leathers were attached too, but there is still some of this left in the tank. I am in the process of removing it all. Kinda sad i really liked those finger leathers.
