Sinularia leather or a devils hand leather.

 

Awesome thanks guys

 

Very easy to frag too,,in case you wanted another one or 3 ...
Just snip off one of the fingers and glue it to a plug or LR..

 

Don't ever glue a frag of leather, you will kill it. You have to tie leathers down to the plug or glue a small spike or needle to the plug and stick the frag on it.

 

Yup, glue won't even work on a leather. I tried to glue down my devil's hand leather and it just slimed right off. I just put the frags in my sump and let them attach to a piece of rubble. I tried the rubber band once and it didn't work, doesn't mean it doesn't, but it didn't for me that one time. I may have to try spike it on a plug, that I haven't tried.

 

Interesting ,,mine did well with the gel..
Perhaps they will die ,IDK it was a couple weeks ago ,,they are still perked up and the polyp extenders come out

 

The spikes were cool, I saw them at world wide corals

 

If one thing I've learned in this hobby. You can take other people's advice and get completely different results or same results or do something completely against the "rules" and have success. This is part of the fun/frustration here! haha

 

Ain't that the truth ,so goes it for life too.
I am completely new to corals and fragging and doing leather corals was the first thing i read ,so i did it ..We shall see how they do.
