Leather coral stalk yellowish

[modulok]

I moved the coral and noticed the base of the stalk not looking so hot.

I'd say the actual color is in between the pics. Can I cut the bad looking part out and reattach the top half of stalk?

Looks pretty normal I wouldnt go cutting anything on that.

I will post a better pic for more detail. Also, looking at a small screen isn't as good as a 20" LCD.

I agree ^ Leathers are pretty hearty and you'd be amazed what you can get away with when it cones to them.

Interesting...it hasn't extended its polyps since I moved it Thursday. But my other leather closed its polyps since Saturday.

Do a water test and post the results. maybe we can help you figure out the problem.
Do the full gamit, pH, calcium, phosphate nitrates, alkalinity, salinity, salt that you use and temperature.

It's been awhile, but the polyps have been out. But it was the first time they haven't been out for over a week since I got the coral in 2011. I will have to get an updated pic to share.

Looks like the base of my colt.I dont think anything is wrong.

Suspect that's just algae formed over there. My toadstool had that for months. I cleaned it with an old toothbrush -- not sure f that was s good idea or not...

Don't do anything hasty...
