I've had a finger leather for months. I believe it was a sinulara (sp?). It had been flourishing until a couple days ago. Kinda limp now and appears to be shedding...any ideas? Everything else in the tank has thrived and it is very lightly fed, and understocked. Parameters are ok. Only other coral with issues is a torch coral that has pretty much almost been bothered to death by a clown. The other leather in the tank is fine.

I'm attaching pictures of the tank enhabitants for reference.

I believe it could be sinularia or some type of capnella. In anycase it looks to have suffered a bit of Ph shock, IMO. It should be fine, I would keep a nice amount of current around it.

A lot of soft corals shed periodically. I, too, would make sure you have plenty of flow across the coral. If nothing else has changed drastically (large water change, change of additives or equipment, etc.), then I'm fairly confident the coral will rebound on its own after it has shed of its outter epidermis.
