leather

I’ve been keeping a 75 gallon mixed reef running with a canister filter, 2 hob skimmers, 2 opposing gyres, and a copious amount of live rock as the only means of filtration and circulation. I sometimes run carbon or phosphate media by hanging a sock around the outflow of the skimmers although I...

I was at the LFS today and I asked what this soft coral was and the kid was not 100% sure he just said it was a leather he believed. Anyone know more specifically what the coral is? Generally I wouldn't buy something without knowing but being $20 and a soft coral I thought I was safe.

Hi! I would love to buy some green and yellow leathers maybe some purple/blue/red/pink mushrooms. I'm having a hard time finding something that would look good under daylights I don't really like blue lights. I'm willing to pay for shipping or picking up locally. HMU located in springfield ma

Hello all! I just cut more frags of my neon green weeping willow. I have 2 frags available. $80/frag . These beauties sold quick last time. Frags will be about 1.5" . I can deliver within the riverside area and would be willing to ship within CA and bordering states. Momma Willow...

Hi, I have a mixed reef tank with SPS, LPS, and softies all doing well...except for one toadstool. I've had it for a few months now and it's never really been super happy. Today I noticed a tear in its stalk as shown here in the picture. Any ideas? Remove? Normal? The only fish I have is a...

Hey guys! So two days ago my weeping willow toadstool looked normal and happy as can be. I did a water change and now today, it has this brown spot on it. That is the only change that has occurred since. Other corals are looking perfectly fine and fish look good too. I don't know if it's just...

Hey Reefers- I am looking to buy a Japanese weeping willow leather (sarcophyton) Thanks! -BG

I got a freebie coral, a leather toadstool, with a clean up crew order. I wasn't expecting the coral, nor did I particularly want it. Would I be OK to dip the coral in Coral Rx? I wasn't able to find anything on the Coral Rx website about using it on leather corals.

My cabbage coral has lost its “leafy” appearance as it seems to be stretching up. It’s showing good polyp extension and seems to be doing just fine. It’s on the bottom in the middle of my tank under an Ap700 at 70%. Has anyone seen this before? Should I try placing it higher up?

Hello all. I am a newbie to the hobby, but I got addicted so fast I love it. My tank has been up and doing great for the past year. I have made many improvements and have learned all lot. I moved this past week and after 1 day of moving the tank, everything died. All the corals, All the fish...

Well my wife @Mayfair and I are officially saltwater hobbiests. We love everything salt. We are avid salt kayak fisherman and own several tanks already. Two african cichlid (180 and 60 cube) We started salt tank (40 gal AIO) the way most seem to...first we wanted fish, who needs coral right...

Hello, I'm totally new to reefs, but have been keeping FOWLR systems for about 15 years. I purchased a cauliflower colt and a candy cane last week. Neither one has looked good since purchase, and the cauliflower is definitely showing some necrosis in one spot, although it doesn't smell bad at...

What's the best method for fragging leathers?Using rubber bands or just cutting? #reefsquad

Hi all, The title of this thread is my question: How long can soft corals and zoas stay out of water? The background for my question is this: I have a chunk of live rock that has become covered with hair algae. I want to take it out of the tank and scrub the algae off. The problem is that two...

Hello community, this is my first post. Aquarium is lightly occupied by fish. Have a leather coral, bubble coral, mushrooms, chalice coral, and ricordea. PH: 8.0 Nitrate: 15ppm Phosphate: undetectable Temp: 78°F I us a reactor with GFO and Carbon. The tank has been established for over 2...

Hi, 3 days ago I got my first corals 1x Xenia and 1x Toadstool leather. To my disbelieve I had insane amounts of problems with both and after a ton of research I came to some theories which maybe you could pin point so I don't repeat them in the future. Quick background The tank is 630ltr...

IMG_5083 by Toby Broadfield, on Flickr This is in reference to my large green toadstool leather above. So I thought I knew quite a bit about leather corals... but I have never seen this before. I have seen leathers reproduce, where a small hole opens up in the crown and a little guy drops...

Hi everyone, After well over a year of being on Reef2Reef, I finally have a tank! I supported the Indigogo campaign of Biota Aquariums back in October. I got the tank in November but due to the holidays, life, the universe, and everything, I didn't set it up until Jan. I've had livestock in it...

I was told this is a toadstool leather? Just out in tank today does it look normal?

Anyone had experience with large leather causing things to get mad or die inexplicably in their system? I had an 'event' last week that correlated with a water change although no swings were measured. *Even temperature. I noticed some viscous bubbles in the sump that looked like someone spit...
