You should never drip acclimate corals only fish and inverts. Corals only acclimate them to temp. You don't need to dip it in phytoplankton! Just leave the leather alone, it needs to get used to it's home and new spot. If you touch or move leathers around too much it stresses them and in the end you will do it more harm.

It looks fine, looks like it's acclimating or shedding detritus. Leathers do this every few weeks or so. Just leave it be and watch it, if there is too much flow it will shrink up or bend over, after a while if it doesn't look happy in the spot you put it in them move it once and try a new place but give it time in between moves. Also wear gloves when handling leathers as the oils from our skin can aggrivate them.
