Are my corals ok??????or do they need help?? please look at pics
Hello all............I have two corals that I'm not sure if they're fine or not (I have a total of about 15 corals in my tank). My parameters are on target and I'm running 250 MH's (10000k) for 8 hrs a day & t5's for 12 hours. I'm gonna describe my concern and show pics of each coral.

The first one is a Devil Hand leather. I have it about 2/3 of the way up my tank. It looks healthy but its changing form a vivid tan to a purplish color. Is this normal?? Here are a few shots:

The second is a finger leather. I have it located in the bottom (1/3) section of my tank right near a candy cane coral. This leather used to open up with little points sticking out of it everywhere and it as almost double the size.

Are they too close together?? Shoud the finger coral be higher up in the tank?? it was just fine for a few weeks and then it just closed up.

All my other corals seem to be thriving..........Are you supposed to spot feed leathers??? I currently spot feed them about 2 times a week. And flow?? heavy or light on leathers??

Thanks
