Hello,

I had a kenya tree and a finger leather in my QT tank for about a month and suddenly they started looking pretty bad.
The kenya tree started fragging itself with 3 healthy pieces breaking off. The rest kind of shrunk and then became brittle and just fell apart.
The finger leather had a black spot which sluffed off easily when I scraped it with my finger, revealing a hole in the base of the coral. The polyps actually opened up on it the next day, but it appears to be releasing the rock it's attached to.

Anybody no what's up?
