I just purchased this today and noticed this "moldy" looking stuff on my Yellow Leather Coral. It was not there before I put it in the tank. My water Parms are all WNL. All my other corals in the tank are doing wonderful with no signs whatsoever of any type of distress or disease. What could this possibly be? Anyone else seen this before?

Hi Tyrant69,

I wish I could give a definite answer, but I am not sure. It looks like tissue necrosis to me, but I don't do well keeping leather corals. Did you do any preventative dips or isolation before adding the piece to your tank?
