Hi,
3 days ago I got my first corals 1x Xenia and 1x Toadstool leather. To my disbelieve I had insane amounts of problems with both and after a ton of research I came to some theories which maybe you could pin point so I don't repeat them in the future.
Quick background
The tank is 630ltr...

This is in reference to my large green toadstool leather above. So I thought I knew quite a bit about leather corals... but I have never seen this before. I have seen leathers reproduce, where a small hole opens up in the crown and a little guy drops...
So I bought a toadstool off a local hobbyist about 10 days ago. At first it would put out small polyps. It has since quit putting them out. The tank IS only 6 weeks old.
