Leathers do that once in a while. They shed their outer skin and basically look sick for a week or two. It should come right back.

Yes it's normal.

is not shedding she just turn green /brown hope turn back in good shape.....

 

[Smitty]

Yeah, that's normal.

Molting, they do it all the time. Hit it gently with a turkey baster to help it along.

Leather corals will sometimes stay closed for several days or shed a waxy film layer as part of their growing process. A little extra flow may help stimulate the leather to open up again.
