Default Feeding Leathers?
I saw some recent posting on feeding, can someone tell me what food they are feeding to their leathers. I have a toadstool that is 12" wide by 12" tall.

welcome to RB!

Most leathers do not need to be fed at all. They have an algae in their tussue called zooxanthallae. This algae gives the coral all the nutrients it needs to grow.
