yellow leather coral

Hello. I am looking for help with a Yellow Fuju Leather Coral. It has been in my 90 gal Red Sea reefer 450 for about 2 months. Doing well. Today much smaller. gray and white. Tank parameter fine and unchanged. A LOT of sludge in protein skimmer! Thanks

I just bought a Yellow Leather Coral on Friday. Today, I noticed that on one edge of the ruffle, it turned sort of brown/black. I shook it off and it floated in the water. Now, where this was there a part of the leather missing. Will it be ok? Anyone else experience this before?

I had a finger coral die on me a while back but I think it was sick when I bought it. But NOW my yellow leather coral looks a little funny. Do I just have bad luck with Leather coral? Any advice on the best way to keep them happy?:help:

Hi everyone I bought a beautiful yellow leather coral last sat. I was wondering if it is getting too much light. In the pic it's on the left hand side of the tank on the btm. The reason I'm asking this question is I was on marine depot and it said leather corals require low lights. My tank is a...

I have a yellow leather coral and I was wondering how do they reproduce? Would I have to frag a piece off from it or what? I will have to get a picture of it to show all of you. It is small right now but I am interested if it grows. Thanks for any help, Brian

Hi, just wondering, i've done some research on it and i know these corals and their needs well, but i was just wondering if all of it "qualifies" as a lagoonal biotype? Livestock: -Xenia -Several "Meat Polyps" -Plate corals -colt coral -various shrooms -frogspawn -anchor...
