Ouch! Brown Leather Toadstool Pics


Overnight this black spot appeared on my Leather Toadstool. I haven't a clue what happened. It's been thriving in my 100 gal tank for 3 months. I've read as many of the posts as I can find on toadstools and can't really pinpoint my trouble with the others. I suspect maybe parasites or worms or even a possible poke from my long spine urchin. I am far too novice to know anything else but am working and studying extremely hard to gain knowledge. The pictures below show the before and after photos I took to show the trouble black spot and what it looked like after I took an ultra soft brush to it. The spot basically flaked right off and left a sort of white spot. Please, can someone offer me advice on what it is and what I need to do. Water parameters have been very good for six months with water changes every two weeks.

looks like it got burned by something do u have it close to any other corals like a frogspawn or something. oh yeah leathers tend to shed from time to time and once the shed all the old skin they get bigger and nicer good luck.

some creep may have fallen on it too. It should be fine!
Mine get spots like that from time to time as it sheds
BTW Toadstool is a soft coral. This thread is in the LPS forum
