Leather not opening

[vincegoh]

Need to know wat happen to my leather which has been opening nicely for at least past 3 months. However, all of the sudden, it just retract all its polys and there is a layer of shining skin covering it. Any idea what happen to it? Water parameters are constant and only addition to the tank are a mandarin fish and a naso ######.

This is a picture 1 weeks ago.

Shining thing is called "Wax"

It's happened when the leather coral is unhappy with.

Could be new introduction of fish, coral next to him.

U touch lot.

Don't worry it'll be back to normal within 2-3 days. It'll shead off all the wax within a week.
