Help with Leather corals

[robbo3542]

Hi,
I have recently purchased some corals from coralsanonymous.com. Unfortunately Xenia came so damaged i had to pull it out after couple days from tank. They told me also to keep leather corals in my tank but i am thinking they are not gonna make it and I am afraid i will poison my tank.
I am asking all expert to let me know if there is any chance for these poor guys.

Thank you in advance.

Gonna need water parameters to give any sort of real advice. . . Soft corals can retract for various reasons. Often they bounce back and are just fine, but gonna need more info.

Also, how old is tank and what light?

He looks very unhappy.

If your nutrients are stable and in check, just leave him they are notorious for sulking for weeks.

Watch if it’s coming apart. If it does, it’s just going to polute your waters.

The system looks new.
Super white sand and some green algae’s taking hold.

Leathers can look pretty bad and come back. I would leave them as long as they are haven't turned black or turned to mush. I've had some sulk for days after just moving the rock they are on.

Update - I removed them. They smelled really bad (my hands still smell). I think they start rotting. They had slimy things around them and they looked like old p...s :)
Yes, my tank is three months old. I just added layer of aragonite. Ammonia is at 0, Nitrite 0-0.25 and Nitrate 0.25, (using API) gravity 1.025 and PH is around 8.

Thanks for all responses.

The smell test. I love it. It's what I use on lps to decide to pull or not.
Sucks that the order didn't work out. :crying-face:
