leather spliting

[Kingpin]

how do you split leathers ?

 

knife?

 

also where do you put them in the tank?

 

i heard to put them near zenia and zenia will be happier, this true?

sharp scissors are generally my pref. while you can use exacto or box cutter-types but depending on the specific leather and your surgical precision you may end up sawing the coral versus a clean snip-snip. lately i've been favoring a short bladed but very sharp scissor my wife got originally for the kitchen. :-* btw, don't use the instrument for anything else once you've used it for coral prop.

 

you should put them in a moderate flow area where it has a lesser chance of being disturbed. avoid other corals imo.
