When I was new to the hobby I always loved the look of the Yellow Fiji Leather and to be honest I still do. I really only like the super yellow colored ones though. What about you? Any leathers you like? Share a picture!

The Tyree Neon Green Leather Toadstool.

Acts as my makeshift Nem, and it doesnt sting anything or move. :)

I'd go with either the green Palau Nephthea sp. or a green Sinularia sp. for things that can be maintained in the aquarium. Strawberry corals (Sclerophylla sp.​) are gorgeous, but don't do well.
 
I still love the look of leathers too. I like the yellow fiji leathers but never had luck with them. I currently have 5 different types in my tank that I've had ranging from 7-13 yrs. You can see all five in this pic. My favorite is the one on the bottom right and here is a closeup of it.

Are all fiji yellow leathers that yellow/bright? It's hard to come across yellow corals, so I'd really like a piece like that in my display. The neon green toadstools are awesome too, but there are just so many other green corals that they don't stand out as well.
 
Some fiji yellow leathers glow neon yellow and others are drab yellow. I heard they like colder water?.
 
always been the nepthea...heres my old colony....took over my tank before
