Jason Rhoads June 20, 2013 Share June 20, 2013 I just read that keeping leather corals in the same tank as acros will eventually lead to the demise of the acro due to the release of "terpins" into the water. Since I started keeping SW tanks around 4 years ago I have always had a toadstool, and a finger leather. I have success keeping and growing most acropora coral (I have lost some) and am wondering if the actual danger of keeping leathers and acros together is overstated. Does anyone have experiences they would be willing to share? I am looking for hobbyists with long-term (3+ years) success keeping these coral types in the same water body. Also, please post up if you have more information regarding how the "terpins" affect acropora as my google searching turned up very little. Thanks in advance!

SunWyrm June 21, 2013 Share June 21, 2013 I can't ever keep acros long term and have a lot of very large leathers... maybe that's why? huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
