Is this Leather mounted correctly ?

[Eric55]

The guy at the LFS told me to mount this leather coral by piercing it with a toothpick and rubber-banding each end to a piece of rock.

I did it, but felt guilty from doing it.

Anyways, there is some discoloration around the site of the toothpick's entry.

Is there a better way of mounting a coral such as this? Is there anything I can do to improve the mount?

Thanks for any advice you can share!

It will start to look better after a couple of days or wven week all depends on water quality.

You can also use super glue gel but need to dry off the coral a little, or fishing line and thread through the base of the coral like you did with the toothpick and then tie to the Live rock, or the natural way and put in with some rubble rock and let it attach by itself this will take about 1-2 weeks to attach.
