one.jpgI just got this , I think it's a finger leather. It looked good last night, polyps were out. Today there are 2 fingers ( on the right ) that are white now. Is it from too much light ? I have 3 rows of reebrite xho led's. I have a flame angel and copper band butterfly, I havent seen them picking at it but that is a possibility.I put it under a shaded area. Any suggestions ? thanks

I have a toadstool leather about 12" across and other soft leathers that have never been bothered.

 

BTW is that a finger leather, the guy at the LFS said it is

thanks for the replies. Right now I have it under a plastic thing with holes so nothing can get at it. I think the butterfly might have to go. I just placed an order for more corals and a couple of clams. Last time I put the trap in to catch something, he went right in. I just have to find it a home or trade at lfs.
