Looks awesome! Long polyp toadstool?One of my favourites. It sulked for ages after my tank upgrade. I just couldn’t seem to get the flow right for it but finally happy again.

Not sure, it was simply sold as a neon green toadstool but the polyps are longer than my golden toadstool (currently sulking)

Hi all, lovely leathers you all have there.
I have a query with regards to the toxins they release.
My issue is I have a 4 year old 7 gallon tank with 2 clowns and loads of hammer corals, a couple mushrooms and a neon green sinularia. The water levels have been stable at:
Alk 8.2
Calcium 415
Mag 1320
Nitrate 10
Phosphates around 0.03 (salifert)
Ph 8
Salinity 1.025
Temp 78
My problem is the hammers have been bailing heads to the fact I'm down to about 4 heads.
I was wandering of the leathers/mushrooms could be releasing toxins and stressing the hammers?
this was it before more heads started to go. I have now cut out all the dead corals and placed a toadstool in there now.
this is after the remodel. I'll post a pic later when everything is open if it all opens today that is. The sinularia has been in there for nearly 2 years.

Sinularia does have a tendency to kill lps corals. FME, I was never successful with lps within a foot of the sinularia no matter the flow. This was not immediately, but as it got larger. I tried many different lps and never worked. Always ended up in qt to recover. I did try on other side of tank and did okay, until I added gorg. Different story.

Idk I have a large sinularia along with several extra large toad stools right next to many euphyllia and not far from SPS and I have never seen any issue.
I have a little carbon in a bag in the sump but I rarely change it. Maybe every few months. I do run UV at night.

I never noticed my toadstool bothering much. My sinularia did, but mostly the trachy, favia, brain type corals. My euphyllias usually held out better.

Cheers so in a 7 gallon tank I'd say I'm asking for trouble then.
OK these aren't my leathers, but I just love 'em.
I have had such a hard time finding these that I've finally decided that after the shipments are back to normal I'm going to just have a few colonies imported through my LFS. I'm hoping to find a few reefers/growers that would like to go in with me so we can split it up, share the costs a little, and get some better quality leathers that are not typically imported.
PM me your info if you want one and I'll put you on the list

This guy is really getting big. I wonder how much he weighs...
