Baby Leather?

[Bossman]

I've had this leather for approximately a year and a half. I've noticed this growth not too far from it's base.

I wasn't sure how they propagated but it appears to be a baby leather?

Looks more like xenia or even a clove polyp. Was a rock or frag given/bought recently? If not it very well could be a baby. Do you have a picture in white lights?

Clove polyp.

I have xenia in another tank, but my baby xenia didn't look like this. The polyps are the same as the leathers.

This was noticed about a month and a half ago. It's been slowly adding polyps. Not much base though.

To me the smaller one looks like it has more wispy heads and is outlined like a clove polyp, but it very well could be a baby. Do you have pictures in white lights?

Hopefully this will work. My wife set the AI lights and I don't want to screw them up! I used a flashlight to give a similar effect. I took a close up of the larger leather, but the polyps are not fully extended yet.

The heads still look wispier, maybe since it's not getting as much light, but that base looks to be a toadstool, so congrats you are a father LOL.

LOL! I will keep an eye on it and update the thread. Someday SPS, but right now I'm liking I can keep leathers.
