Hey Everyone I was moving my Long polyp leather today and while moving the coral I felt something squirt on my hand. I believe it was the coral, but I am not totally sure. Has anyone else had the same thing happen to them? Another question is should I be worried? Thanks

You should be fine lol... although just as a friendly reminder, it is always good practice to wear gloves when handling corals and always wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap after direct contact just as a precaution.

My cynarina does this if it's not fully deflated before I take it out of the water. I believe it's because it bothers the coral just enough to make it deflate and because it fills up with water, only water can spurt out :)

Got a picture of the coral?
I have not heard of a leather squirting before and I've been keeping different leather corals for about 25 years.
Be cool to see something new.
