hi, read that leathers produce lots of toxins, can potentially kill stony corals with 24 hrs and even fishes (specially after being cut for propagation)

I have a leather and hammer in the same 15gal tank, but so far no prob..

anyone had such problems before ? or like me, so far so lucky...

It is a well known fact that softies and hard corals cannot mix without the hard corals being affected first due to 'chemical warfare'.

That is why reefers with LPS and SPS tanks should only have 1 or 2 softies in their tanks at the max.

Softies do not really like turbulent and heavy currents which SPS love... and it would be disastrous if the 'skin' which leathers shed from time to time should touch SPS corals.

Unfortunately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. that is why you seldom see full soft coral reef tanks... everyone loves hard corals! ;)

AT,

I have some fingers and leathers and I have always thought they prefer strong current to prevent them from shedding the skin. I do not have many SPS though, mostly LPS and some branches.

I think (marine) therefore I am

Not too strong or their polyps won't open... slow to moderate currents only.

Agree with Pospeh.... utilizing of carbon is recommended.
