Leather and fish ID

[Autumnsky]

This is the Leather I recently bought.

Does it have a name, it was mistakenly labeled as a long polyp Leather. It wasn't a green Toadstool Leather. It is mostly cream/white. This is the extent of the extension on the polyps. Is it just a white Toadstool Leather? I can't find any info.

This fish was at the lfs and unnamed - anyone know what it is? It is the green leaf looking Thing.

Looks like a bleached out toadstool. And the fish is a matted filefish.

Not good... Really? It is opening and closing every day, so seems like it is active...really, so I should take it back for a different one, and it isn't just cream colored. It doesn't have any color and it is still pliable and leather-y...? not an albino kind, lol? bummer.

Good to know, it was a very interesting fish to watch and pretty but not good if it wants to eat corals.

It may be a yellow that got stressed out, or it got hit with more light than it wanted, but it's a real hardy coral so it'll color back up for you I bet. In general white isn't a color that corals come in, and it usually means w stressed/unhealthy specimen, but as long as yours keeps opening up and acting like a normal toadstool I wouldn't worry.

Yeah, file fish are awesome, but I like my coral more
