It's probably sloughing. Leathers do that from time to time to rid their bodies of detritus, bacteria and other doo doo  | |

How much water flow do you have blowing on it? Soft corals appreciate good water flow to help reduce detritus accumulation and aid in the reduction of sloughing(mucus/slime)! Try dosing iodine as well, as it is very important to many living things in a salt water tank!
You may want to try and position it another area within your tank and see if that works better! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
