zygote2k August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 I've been looking all over and can't seem to find any. There are plenty of regular yellow leathers around that grow from a central stalk- those aren't Fiji. If anyone has one, can you post a picture?

Jon Lazar August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 Rob, Not sure what a "regular yellow leather" is, but I have sarcophyton elegans, the Fiji yellow leather. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k August 21, 2010 Author Share August 21, 2010 Here's a picture that is very similar to one I had years ago. This isn't artificially colored either. Mine grew right under the most intense area of the PC bulbs and loved the high flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwweber August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 can u frag leathers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lazar August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 can u frag leathers? Leathers are relatively easy to frag. Cut a piece off the colony with sharp scissors or a razor blade, then attach to a piece of LR rubble with a rubber band, thule, or sewing thread.

extreme_tooth_decay August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 The most common places I used to see those was Roozen's and Marine Scene, but I haven't been in to them for a while. Beautiful coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 I picked up a yellow fiji coral from marine scene yesterday because my fiance "thought it would be a cute friend for our toadstool", but I digress... The color is somewhere between the top two pictures. Certainly not "standard yellow", but not as vivid as the above photo either... When it settles in and has good polyp extension, I will take a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshriver August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 I have kept them in the past. The same colony can go from mustard brown yellow to almost yellow tang yellow depending on the lights. Mine liked a lot of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals August 21, 2010 Share August 21, 2010 I started searching for this leather now. What an amazing coral! I hope we can get this into the community soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypertech August 22, 2010 Share August 22, 2010 Once my tank is cycled and I send for my corals, I should have one of the super yellow ones. It may be a while before it is ready to frag (assuming I don't lose it in shipping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k August 22, 2010 Author Share August 22, 2010 (edited) I have kept them in the past. The same colony can go from mustard brown yellow to almost yellow tang yellow depending on the lights. Mine liked a lot of light. I have never seen them change color- not that it couldn't happen, but the one I had stayed bright canary yellow for 2 years unti the tank breakdown. It was grown under a 400w PC fixture. Edited August 22, 2010 by zygote2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay August 24, 2010 Share August 24, 2010 roozen's has one listed on it's site Roozen's doesn't keep their site updated. Too much stuff coming and going, it would be a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
