    My Leather Cabbage Needs Your Help! Please Answer!

    yes, that is the kind, although mine is a little browner and bigger...but my lfs said they need stronium/calcium and iodine. do reef complete for the other and he recommended adding iodine as a supplement in small dose. I did this last night, it does seem a bit better this morning.
