Leather Rescue

[ppurcell]

I need to find new homes for a red finger leather and a yellow ridge leather. They have been in a state of decline over the past week or so since I introduced some new inhabitants to the tank.

My water parameters are good, so I can only figure allopathy as the cause. My colt, devils hand and green (finger, sinularia or something) are all doing fine as usual.

If anyone has an established softy tank and wants to try and revive these two very nice pieces (both around 6-7" when open) they are located in Naperville, but I think they need to go today as I the red finger needs a change of environment asap. They ridge is in a little better condition.

Here is a pic of the finger:

Regarding the suspected allelopathy, I have been running fresh carbon for the past 4 days, the ridge looks better than it did yesterday, but the finger has gotton worse.

I could use some suggestions even if nobody wants to take a chance on the leathers.

I will be in Naperville Thursday. I could take one or both then if they are doing okay. I live out by Dekalb and it is a long drive to get there today.

Thanks

Tom
