leather coral

Hey guys, I received this Yellow Mushroom Leather Toadstool yesterday from LiveAquaria. When it showed up it looked okay, the typical stress mucus from shipping but overall okay. I acclimated and added it to the setup and it opened its polyps up pretty well and it looked as though it would...

Hi all, Recently I’ve become concerned for my leather toadstool coral. It has been in my established tank for 2 weeks without issue. It began to look wrinkly and mucous-y a few days ago. I figured it was shedding. Then I had a new diatom outburst in my tank. I’ve managing the outburst, but now...

Mine was swaying nice tonight so I had to post it! (Video attached)

This was taken 1/22/22 and I've since moved the mushrooms to the rocks in my tank as I read that they prefer to be on rocks and not in sand ;Cat My tank has been up since Sept. 2021, and I got the coral on Friday 1/21/22

Being offered a free frag but want to know what I’m putting in my tank if I do! can’t see under the actinics but it is a pinkish flesh color

So I was just gifted two small, what I believe to be, devils hand leather corals. Are these the ones that give off chemicals that stunt the growth of other corals? Forgive my ignorance but leathers, outside of toadstools, are foreign to me.

Two of my leathers are growing like crazy looking for advice about fragging/pruning names of the leathers and fair prices for frags would also be appreciated. May sell the round one a single piece, seems a shame to cut but it is overtaking the tank (100 g) thanks.

Im fairly new to saltwater and corals, i believe this is a toadstool leather but can someone tell me what this is growing from it?

Upgraded my tank from 40 gallon to 120 gallon. After moving all the corals from 40g to 120g leather coral shrunk and never opened again, its been more than 2 weeks and its still in the same state. It used to open up nicely in my 40g and now it’s not even 1/4 of its original size and leaning to a...

Hey guys my 180 gallon has been up and running stable for about a year now I finally have adequate lighting. I'm ready to start putting corals in I have a few that have been sitting in a biocube just waiting. I want to do all soft corals mostly leathers. My question is where is a good place to...

Does anyone have experience with Rapa Rapa snails and Sarcophyton? I have a toadstool coral that I added to my tank back in the middle of March. I purchased it from a LFS I was unfamiliar with so I did dip it prior to adding it to my tank with Seachem Reef Dip. It went through a fairly rapid...

I'm starting this to share my aquarium experience. Feel free to share tips and tricks! Right now I have an unhappy anenome. We have found it very enjoyable to get injured/sick animals and critters and nurse them back to health. Right now it is this anenome with an unhappy foot. We did have...

Do toadstool leather corals release the chemicals that slow growth of other corals? I have one in my biocube that is not very large that I like pretty well but if it harms other corals ill get rid of it.

Hi. I have several frags for sale. Not sure what it is exactly because there are a ton of names for it, but its a sarcophyton species found in japan I believe. We call it Eywa (from the movie avatar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6-_4dYk2ew) because it looks like their sacred tree. ANYWAY...

Is my leather dying and if it is what can I do I dragged it for the first time and this is the next day it is defenetly shedding and it is completely lumped of never seen him like this

Does carbon strip essential elements from the water column? I’m an environmental engineer and my training wpuld indicate it’s gonna take a whole lot of carbon to bind up a ton of your essential elements but I don’t know for sure about in saltwater. I plan on running it because I have a decent...

Ok so I am not new to reefing. I’ve been doing this like 8 years. I am however new to leather corals. I’ve got a line on a great little toadstool leather frag I’m picking up Thursday. My question is do these dudes sting other corals? And what about the toxin they release into the water? Do I...

Hey reefers. I am getting a tiny frag of green toadstool leather Thursday. How do I care for this coral? Will it be harmful to my Zoa, candy canes, blasto, or hammer coral? Am I supposed to run carbon? Sorry about all the questions new to leathers in general.

Hello! I added this finger leather a few weeks ago along with a toadstool leather and Kenya trees. The finger leather is not doing well at all. See pictures below, at times it’s stalk was long as if it were “stretching” towards the light, now it is small and limp. It’s never had much polyp...

Hey folks! bought another coral from the LFS and forgot what it was before I made it home! I know the leathers, just not the other! o_O Can you help ID and offer some advice for care? Looks like one of the branches has opened its polyps, but the others remain closed, not enough flow? Too much...

I have 3 extra colonies of Green Star Polyps that have branched or been fragged from my huge mother colony, and they deserve new homes. Please forgive the pics, I only have my iPhone to work with! Located in Chattanooga, TN. Willing to meet locally, and also willing to ship via FedEx. Should...
