Leathers, like any coral, do need light in the spectrum provided by your actinic bulbs.  On the other hand you mentioned that your rockwork was disturbed.  I know that when my leathers get disturbed or moved around they will shrivel up and not extend their polyps.  Sometimes they stay this way for several days, and in some cases end up shedding of a thin outer layer.  If it hasn't been long, I would suggest just leaving it alone and keeping an eye on it.  Leathers are pretty hardy corals.
