My leather developed this white tip after a shed. Is it anything to worry about? The polyps apear to still come out of the spot and the rest of the leather looks really happy. All the other corals in the tank are super happy too.

Happens to mine all the time. It's over a foot across and drops frags 2 or 3 times a week. Always some discoloration after.

The same exact thing happens to mine:

This pic is from months ago when I first got it, it’s expanded tenfold since. It seems to be a normal occurrence to me, leathers just being leathers......

Small area of tissue necrosis after the shed... nothing to worry about.
My leather does it often. Heals up fine every time.
