Hey everyone! I’ve had this leather coral for a couple years now and haven’t had any problems with it. A few days ago I noticed a spot of buildup on the leather and use a turkey baster to blow it off and turned up the flow the flow. For the past few days an LG film keeps forming on the weather and now the weather is turning white to a pale yellow. The pictures are of the Algae that I’ve blown off the coral under the microscope. Is this algae or some sort of bacteria? I’m not sure if this is a normal shedding and that’s just the top layer of the leather.
