I agree, unless it’s an LPS that just goes in the sandbed like a wall euphillia, a coral should be established to its base and completely healedI won't buy anything that's not attached to rock.
Just too many ways for things to go wrong.

how fast a grower is this?I got my baby pink nep from Marine Farmers. They look like they're in stock right now there.
Slloooowwwwwhow fast a grower is this?
I’ve had my Pink Nepthea from UC for about a year. It’s gone from approx 1.5” to about 5” over that time. Not the fastest growing softy.how fast a grower is this?
I just got a piece from unique corals. Hopefully it grows well.I saw unique corals had a pink nepthea that I want SO bad but it’s sold out just frustrating that there are zoas and mushrooms galore available but leathers are so inconsistently available!
I just got a piece from UC. It's amazing how bright pink this is without light. The lights kinda take away from the beauty of this piece.I’ve had my Pink Nepthea from UC for about a year. It’s gone from approx 1.5” to about 5” over that time. Not the fastest growing softy.
ImI have a Kenya Tree that drops branches like crazy, unfortunately have nowhere for them and end up throwing them out..
I’ve always thought of it as a lower end coral and didn’t think there would be much interest. I will def let my LFSs know and see if there’s any interest. Thanks for the idea!!Im
Sure a local store would take them
Yep. Back in the early 2000's that's what you saw for sale, by the late 2000's my local reefers would give that stuff away...if they could. I've occasionally looked online and at LFS for sinularia/sarcophyton and rarely ones that interest me like I did years ago.No one answered the question, "Why are leathers so hard to find?". I feel the same way. Softies, leathers, colts etc use to be every where and fairly inexpensive. Now I rarely see them. All about acros and zoas now days. I can't help but think maybe one of the bans is behind it, however; as stated above they seem like they would be easy to aquaculture.
I’m headed to Orlando and I anticipate seeing nothing but named SPS and LPS for hundreds of dollars.To the OP’s point, I walked entirely around Reef-a-Palooza in Orlando a couple years back— finding a leather was like finding a hen’s tooth.
That was definitely my experience the last time I went.I’m headed to Orlando and I anticipate seeing nothing but named SPS and LPS for hundreds of dollars.
