Neon Green Leather Polyp placement question

[kkgaskin90]

This was sold as "Neon Green Leather Polyp"-doing some research it's a finger leather? So from what I can tell its high light, high flow, is that correct? I'm worried the flow is too much for it. It's teeny. The bag it arrived in smelled AWFUL so I'm a bit worried about it. Any advice?

As long as its not in direct flow or return outlet , it should be ok in the water column

I have hope! It must have floated off the rubble and found itself in a crevice, because a few days later I noticed something tiny glowing toward to bottom of the tank in a crevice. To my surprise it is the leather and it's glowing and growing! Hard to get a picture because of where it is, but fingers crossed!

Sinularia or Nepthea coral. Hard to tell the 2 apart but same care for either coral. Sinularias are almost indestructible.

Almost a year later and it's doing well! It's been a trying year so probably not great growth but I'm tickled it found a hole and survived :)

Leave it and don't touch. It found its place and looks happy. That's a nepthia my favorite coral of all. I believe it's an extinct coral

I wouldn't dream of touching it at this point! It's happy. Not gonna mess with a good thing :)
