I have a green polyp leather frag. The foot has almost covered the plug. Recently I have noticed that the foot is getting some kind of leigions or something. it doesn't look like something is eating it because throughout the entire wound, it is exactly the same depth into the foot. One of the wounds looks glossy or glittery...unusual to say the least but still its normal color. The head of the leather is an off white like normal but it has a couple of spots on the outer edge that is pure white and no polyps are extending through it. The wounds on the foot look almost like they were cut out by a cookie cutter and then skinned off. the wounds on the top look like it might have been shaved off. There is also a very small slit on the edge of the top. WHAT THE HECK IS ATTACKING MY LEATHER!!! I dipped it in Coral Rx about a week ago. At first everything looked GREAT. The polyps extended further and more numerous than I have ever seen. Now it is acting the same as it was before, but has more damage to the top...not the foot.

I am going to try another Coral Rx dip later today. If anyone has any other insights, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Tank you for your time,


Kevin
