I was about to ask the same thing, maybe the salinity's a bit high?

I like good leather corals. They do take over a big part of the tank.

its a pretty fast spreading soft coral.. You dont need to remove it but you may need to keep an eye on it spreading to far. They are nice corals if you love softies. Get it setup nice nad happy and it will be beautiful for a long time. (as long as you frag it when necessary and keep it in check in the tank)

Get it out..it's not only fast spreading, it will just pop up around the tank. It's like little pieces break loose, float around, and land across the tank. IMO it doesn't look good in any way and you'll never be able to get rid of it. If you decide to keep it, have fun! BTW, leathers secrete chemicals that can bother and even kill many hard corals. I don't keep any leathers for this reason.
