"sagging/wilting" African Bush coral?

[BCsteve]

Help, I am very new to all this. My two small African Bush corals have been sagging now for 36 hours. One has been in tank for three weeks and the other was bought at last Sunday's BRS auction. I did a water change and added a skimmer yesterday (both planned)../but they are still pretty wilted. Water nitrite/nitrate/ammonia tests are fine; salinity about .022; T5 quad lights (96w). My question is if this is typical for leathers...and will they just "come back to life" on their own? Thanks - Steve

salinity is low at 1.022 should be a bit higher at 1.025 -.026.

It is somewhat typical of leathers.Running carbon aggressively can do that as well and they need enough flow to remove themselves of irritants by shedding.

Thanks guys...slowly increasing salinity; no carbon filtering; flow is pretty good, but I did move some powerheads (have 3) around directionally, so maybe that did it. First one has died...second one looked better yesterday, but worse today (Monday)

What about all other Parm?
Cal, Alk, Mag, Phos, etc. Has any of those been checked?
