    I bought a neon green tree leather a couple months ago that came with a touch of cyano on it. Now its starting to crop up in other places. Its not a problem yet but I fear it may become one. What should I do?

    Increased flow in the areas, reduced nitrates.
    If its still not a lot, try to get as much out manually as you can.

    It still only on the rock that the leather is attached to and a few spots on another rock. Theres nothing that eats it is there? I have one hermit crab that picks at it occasionally. He has a greenish coloring. Not sure what he is though.

    My eyelash blenny eats the stuff. But it was one of those random blenny's you see and I have no idea on the specific ID of exactly what kind of blenny.
    I think John at reefcleaners has a few things that eats it. You might try looking through some of his threads in his sponsor section.
