hmmm it may be sheding it skin... leather do this from time to time or when they are stress....

[akahoshi]

hmmz.. not to discourage you or anything, but i think this specimen isn't doing well and might start to disintergrate..

What are your lightings? Water parameters?

[sunny03]

check your water parameter

[Alvin Tan]

could be due to low ca...check ur water parameters..

[Lester]

hmmm... actually mine too slag like this from time to time only to shed it skin away.. but after a week or so.. it become bigger and longer than before ... well .. maybe it not so bad after all .....

[akahoshi]

it's true that leather corals do shed their skin, but the leather in the pic doesn't look good, and even if it's sheding, it shouldn't be sagging..

[flamey]

leather needs a relatively high flow..

[Lester]

yap i agreed.. do place it in a high flow area.. it als helps the leather to shed it skin better and faster..

hmmm sound like a snake

[jialuvqr]

i also notice that it is releasing some white liquid at a very slow rate from the leather....at a small part..

any idea what is it?

i didnt test the water...only noe that temp is 27.5

[jialuvqr]

just checked:

ph 7.8

ammonia 0.5

nitirite 0.5

nitrate 45

think my para got problem leh!

just relocate it to a higher flow area, if it should stand up. They are hardy corals, not need to worry about water parameters unless your temp is very high

[jialuvqr]

using AquaPharm one....like no use leh....still ard 7.8 since first day

dun have ca tester leh....but i got seachem reef complete also just use...

bro..try using seachem reef buffer or reef builder..

[jialuvqr]

that one is for calcium or?

[Alvin Tan]

that one is for calcium or?

for ph la..

pH shld be 8 and above...8 and below abit acidic lehx..

my 2 cents..

[jialuvqr]

haha ok ok

but my seapharm one also buffer to 8.3 one leh

but its doesnt work

kanna cheated

[Alvin Tan]

err....not to say that a certain product dosent work...maybe u add too little or wad..

but so far..seachem and tropic marin are to reliable brands to go for..

[jialuvqr]

no wonder its on sale...haha

i add 2 caps leh....hai dunno why no use

ok will buy seachem tomolo

so its due to my ph and calcium?
