Yellow Fiji

[Lacktaters]

Today is one week that I've had this thing. It was a beautiful bright yellow color with perfectly rippled edges when the delivery guy dropped it off at my house at almost 8:00 in the evening. Must have been a long day on the truck. It has looked progressively worse each day since. As you can see, it's starting to disintegrate. Is there any hope of it bouncing back? Should I contact live aquaria about a store credit? The other corals from the same order are looking great. They white xenia has almost doubled in size in a week (it was a very small frag). The pink colt has fully opened. Even the australian elegance looks good.

with leathers look for algae or dark spotting... smell of it and see if it smells rotted. that is your best indicator. when they get stressed algae can attack them and kill them. if its just a spot you could cut it off then iodine it , but as it looks its too late. give it a sniff and let us know.

Smells gross! It really started coming apart and blowing all over the tank too. I didn't want the yellow fiji dust to hurt anything else, so I tossed it. Thanks for all the help though.

I'd recommend cutting off pieces that look clean and dipping them (iodine and saltwater mix). Keep the remaining pieces in areas with moderate flow. Hopefully the remaining pieces will recover. Spread the pieces out in the tank but not next to other leathers if you have any (when leathers slag, they tend to take out other leathers nearby).
