Signs of dying yellow leather ?

[kcmoreefman]

Anybody tell me how I can tell if a yellow leather is dying ?

White/tan snotty/mushy blotches, poor polyp extension, constant drooping are a few.

What about shriveled up, brown with some black tissue ? because thats what Im seeing and flakes of yellow when I moved them

Try to give it some good flow and light. Many of the yellow leathers that people have been getting for the last year or so seem to not do well from what I hear while some do well. It could be just doing the leather thing.

Sound like it has brown jelly infection. I got a leather coral about a month ago and it died form the same infection.

Guess I better mention that these two were offspring from another leather. They were growing on each side of a 8" Yellow leather. These two were 3" each. I propagated them and put them in my 12g tank. I put them in my 12 as a temparary thing waiting for them to settle down, then sell them. Note- they both were touching each other for the two days. After noticing they didnt look good, I seperated them. And they dont get much flow in the 12g corner of the tank

It is turning brown and the tissues are slowly dissolving away.
