wfoxfox February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 (edited) TIA for the help. I have had this forever - came free with the tank 5 years ago. The pic is bad from a color perspective. The inside 'fingers' are green and go in when it is scared or the lights are off. http://www.wamas.org/forums/index.php?s=&a...m&album=548 Edited February 8, 2009 by wfoxfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothtriqueter February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 It looks like it is just a large toadstool leather, or could be a Tonga leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfoxfox February 8, 2009 Author Share February 8, 2009 so it has probably grown way past the mushroom/toadstool 'looking' phase........ The 'book' I have says the leathers are all 'solid' in the middle - which this may be 6 inches down :-) It is just getting too big for my tank. Can I cut it back/frag it?

Smoothtriqueter February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 Yeah Just take a nice sharp pair of scissors and cut around the edge it should heal up just fine. They are very forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 An easy way to frag these types of leathers is to cut it into pie shaped sections. Cut almost to the center but leave all the pieces attached. Wait till the pie shaped sections have healed, then cut off every other one. After a few months, the cut-off sections will have grown and you can start the process again.

quazi February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 This looks like a sacrophyton of some type. Cut it any way you want. I used to take outer ring cuts off mine, and cut the ring into pieces. There must be more than thirty people in the club with my sacro now. My sacro recovered within a week or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 Looks like it might be ORA Green sarcophyton - but it's an odd growth pattern for it. As you mentioned, they are usually flat, or rounded on the top, while yours is concave. You can frag it most any way you want. I take slices from the edges of mine, then strap them down to a tile with bridal veil across the middle tightly. This generally creates two corals - one on each side of the strap. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 I have one that looks exactly like that. When I bought it from a member I was told that it was a yellow Fiji leather. My midas blenney loved to perch inside of it and peek out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
