Keeping SPS with Leather Coral and softies

[fkshiu]

Having a really big tank to disperse all that leather slime doesn't hurt either.

It won't be easy in a 46 once the leather gets bigger - carbon will be your friend.

Borneman's Aquarium Corals book has a list of the 5 worst softies when it comes to aleopathy but I can't remember it off hand. Definitely stay away from Devil's Hand or other lobos, they're especially nasty.

yeah...I do have a Lobophytum. I think they call it rabbit ear leather. And it is about 5-6 inches when it is fully expand.

Nice coral... Anyone interested

Can someone tell me why the Devil's Hand is particularly nasty and how would one go about removing one.

I find the corals that smell the most like raw metal when cut up are the worst
