leather coral with sps corals

[josephv]

Will leathers pose problems for sps corals? Should I get rid of them?

Nothing a little carbon wouldn't take care of... The real problem would be keeping the water "dirty" enough for the leather to strive.

Edit ^^^ Thrive not strive. Lol

I have no problems growing xenias, tyree and ora toadstools and green nepthea in my sps tank. I run no carbon and do weekly water changes.

Thanks.Im adding sps to my 300dd display and I dont want to jeopardize their health.

I have 2 nice tyree neon green leathers that were concerning me

I have leathers in the same tank as sps just have to keep them at least 3" away

But that's all relative. With enough flow, water changes and carbon you can easily reduce the warfare.

I have an orange digitata growing less than an inch from a large green sinularia and both are doing just fine. Digitata is growing at the same rate as an identical one on the other side of the tank where there are no leathers nearby.
