You should probably list your tank parameters and lighting setup you have. Also many coral may need time to adjust, but my coral understanding is still very basic.

Finger Leather seems to need time to adjust. I brought a frag home some time ago, and it took weeks before it looked really happy.

thanks for the info. The finger was actually a huge specimen which did as the dealer said break into to two pieces the one towards the the top of the tank is upright and fluffy the one nearer to the bootm is hanging around kinda droopy but fluffy.
