finger leather coral

[CSJ]

My finger leather coral has small black dots that just appeared today.
What is it and what do I do about it? I'm new to reef aquariums.

Can you get a pic of it. Hard to say without seeing it. BTW Welcome to the site

Agreed, a pic would be helpful.

Are they on the "trunk" or where you normally see polyps extended? Were the polyps extended when you saw the black spots or not?

 

[CSJ]

They are not on the trunk. They are where the polyps come out and also appear to be on the tip of the polyps. I touched the affected polyps and when they are completely retracted, there are no black dots. The rest of the coral is extended normally and beautiful.

Mine does the same thing I believe it is just that the polyps aren't fully extended. Keep an eye on it but I don't think you have anything to worry about.
