Anyone have any idea what this coral is? LFS said its a leather. I just wanted a piece of live rock and he also came attached. I know its a Devil Hand behind the one in question.

1000 thank you's!

Looks like a closed up sinularia leather.
Btw, the one in the background looks more like a thick finger lobo than a devils hand leather.
Thanks so much. I only got it a few days ago so I didn't know whether it would open up or just grow. Also noted on a thick finger Lobo. I will look those up!

Elevate this leather. It needs medium flow and moderate light. Once you bring it up, give it a few gentle blasts with a turkey baster to get the algae and film off of it.

Here is mine:

There is just SO MUCH going on in this picture. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully one day I can have a tank with just half this kind of growth. I would be happy.
