Sinularia finger leather with black spots

[Maxxingout]

So yesterday I noticed some black spots on my finger leather. Was wondering if anyone might know what it looks like? Not sure if it's fungus, some type of shedding, or a bug? I have not tried to turkey baster the spots yet but will tonight. It seems to be in ok flow, as in it waves around a little bit but might need a little more? I've had it for a few months now and it has been growing since then.

Necrosis perhaps? Definitely use that turkey baster and see if it comes off. Using a small brush might be a good idea as well. If it keeps coming back you might have a problem on your hands. GL.

If it does come back what would that problem be? I'm new to softies.

So I just turkey bastered the leather and the black stuff came off. Now to see if it comes back. If it does what would that mean?

If it comes back your probably going to have to frag the coral. Cut the healthy parts off and secure them to a piece of rock or something and discard the black stuff. Basically treat it like cancer. GL.

Different, but the same. (link below)
