Will leather coral kill my bubble and sun coral?

[Lisa Cain]

HELP
I purchased a devil's hand leather coral and did not realize until i got home and read about it that it releases toxins taht may harm my sun coral and bubble coral. Has anyone had any problems with it harming a bubble coral or a sun coral?

Thanks

It might hurt them if they’re all in a 2 gallon tank and you never do water changes and frag the leather inside the tank. if not then you’re fine

I have a 32 gallon biocube and I change water every week. I just purchased it this evening and put it in the tank then read about it. Scared me to death.

I have 3 leathers they have never bothered anything, but don't frag them inside the tank

Thank you. It is leaning over I need to reposition it because it is leaning over my zoa's. Will try to send a picture of it. It was big in the store but is small now. Its bottom is in a hole but it is still leaning over.

No problem, them making contact won’t do any damage. It may take a few days to open up as well. The toxin is released a bit when it sheds but mostly if it’s attacked, like if you were to slice it up to frag it

Thank you Mark. I can rest now. I was getting ready to try to figure out if I could convince the store to take it back tomorrow. Now I am ok. In attached a picture of it. It was tall an pink in the store. However, it is beginning to put out little buds. However now my blue lights are on.

it may take a few days for it to acclimate jn your tank and it also might shed soon to but don't worry they are hardy and peaceful
