    It looked a little unhappy in the picture due to placement, but he seems to be opening up now:

    pic looks like a lobo brain but hard to tell unless it is inflated

    dose it seem to have a hard skeleton if so then it is definately not a leather but rather a lps wich is what brain corals are

    I would put money on that being a brain, mind you I'm no good at betting so that's more money down the drain!

    beeing as the lfs told you that it was a leather i would highly recomend avoiding them as they obviously dont know much about our hobby

    It was not the usual guy I talk to there. Mistake #1. I didn't question. Mistake #2!
