    Will yellow polyps sting a cabbage leather? And is it bad for a tank when a leather gets stung or sheds a layer of skin/cells? I have a pink leather in my tank. Its cool but not that cool. I might take it out if it is threatening my acans and zoas and rics?

    The polyps may irritate the Cabbage but won't do it any real harm. The shedding, as you may know, is natural. The shed "skin" should pose no threat to anything in the tank. If a substantial layer gets blown onto another coral, simply blow it off with a baster.
