hi i aquired a Leather coral a few months ago on craigslist. it was free and seemed to be in pretty bad condition. since, it hasnt gotten any better (or too much worse just got a bit smaller). ive tried a few things ive read about to get it to stick to a rock (it was free from any kind of anchor or base). ive tried rubber banding it to some coral it it just rotted through and fell off. ive tried sitting it on some rocks numerous times and it always just shifts and rolls off. ive tried gel super glue and it just eventually came off. it only ever extends about 10-15 percent (if that) of its polyps. today i saw it was gathering some crud so i waved it around the jets a bit and it came right off but immediately after i noticed it releasing very small clouds off white "smokelike" stuff. id show pics but my camera sucks. its stem is very stumpy and about half an inch long. the whole thing is about 2 inches wide. it still looks pink and hasnt changed much in the last 3-4 months so im guessing it can be saved. please help!!!!!!
