I got this large leather for 30 bucks at the LFS yesterday. Really cool blue/white flesh with brown polyps. About 1.5x size of a softball. It’s already opening up nicely, which I’m very happy about. Tank is sps with some zoas and shrooms. I’ve never kept a leather, so I was hoping for an ID and general pointers. Right now it’s orobably in the lowest flow/lowest light section of the tank. Thanks!

Looks like what we used to call a Devil’s Hand although I haven’t heard that name in a long time. It likes the same conditions as your mushrooms and zoas. I have found them really forgiving. I just put mine wherever I have a place for it!
