I have two mangroves in my marine tank. The taller one worries me a lot. Its top mature leaves stretch far outwards, and the new young leaf at the apex hangs down limply.
Some leaves were submerged under water before, and I only use yellow light during the day with blue night light. I also took it out many times recently, making its stem slightly soft on the surface.
Does anyone know what’s causing this drooping? How can I fix it?

Can you tie it to something for structural support? Or tie the top to a piece of fishing line and a suction cup so it stays straight?
Yes, good idea 
Happy to help 😬
If there is any damage to the root the salt can rush in and make the tree soft. If you know any break off I hear sealing it off with glue works. Be careful when taking it out.
