Coral Issues...

[ChiTownRomeo]

Hey everyone. I was doing a water change and knocked over a rock on accident. When picking it back up I noticed this coral growing. I have no idea what it is....

Also I got this free from a friend and it was doing fine for a long time and now it's got white spots all over it. Bleaching?

I had a finger leather about a year ago that melted away , it just started growing back and your first pict kind of looks just like my leather is it all soft or does it have a skeleton , this just popped up out of no where and I know its a finger leather because I had a leather there a year ago till it just melted away

This coral is very hard and stoney.

Depends. I have one in my 90 gal that is the same color as Romeo's. Has been doing great for almost 3 years. Have an "Acid Green Pectinia" in my 180 gal that almost died but is slowly coming back. Either way, I have found that moderate flow and light seems to be what they like.

I fragged it off the rock and is now low in the rocks under a mild blowing mp10 and lower light. You guys sure that's what this is?
