I got a pink fiji leather coral and beside it, there was a bery small blue/purple fiji leather 2 weeks ago. It is very small 1/4 inch. 2 days ago, i was trying to remove left over food thay was hanging on them and i used a spoid to blow it out. When i did this, i noticed the slimes. I was freaking out and unfortunatly did very short reaserch and blew and sucked all slime off it. It looked good after i did this but this morning, i was covered in slime again. Could you guy let me know if it is sheddi g and is ok. Or would i have to remove it as it is dead or dying. Thank you

That might be some sort of bacterial mat or something growing on it, I would keep it cleaned off. The little leather coral underneath doesn't look to good though and may be on it's way out.
