Good morning all, I just picked up this leather coral (not the best photo) and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what type it is also an idea of placement in my tank. I know leather likes water movement but I am not sure about the placement, top, middle or bottom. My lights are 2 120 w razors and 1 160w razor, tank is a 90g reef. Thanks for the help!
 
Looks like some kind of Finger Leather. And with those lights you are safe keeping that one on the bottom if you so wish.
 
That does look like some kind of finer leather coral, kinda flopped over for now from being newly placed. The are several species, even genus, that are lumped as finger leather, but the husbandry is pretty much consistent among them. They prefer moderate flow, moderate light.

Here's my finger leather. It sits almost to the substrate and in the lowest flow area in my high flow tank. HTH!!
