Hi everyone, does anyone know what this growth is on my leather? Tia

Honestly, nothing I can make out really (if it's that small roundish greenish thing in the center we're talking about).

Its literally Impossible to make out anything under very heavy blue light
Can you repost with pics under white lighting ?

It just appeared this morning

It almost looks like a coral imbeded in the leather. Does it open like a polyp?
Or it might just be dead tissue.
That's a better shot but still can't tell.

It was opening I haven’t paid much attention to it lately though. Will it just heal itself? Thanks

Leathers are tough, as long as you have good water conditions it will heal and grow.
Leathers occasionally split off a number of pieces of the cap to propagate and then heal and continue to grow.

Good luck, keep us posted!

Looks like small Majano anemone Personally reef safe or not, you dont want anything growing on a leather which has toxins called terpenes. Using sa yringe, CAREFULLY inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away
