Bought A Cabbage Leather Today

DC_40gallon · 12/18/2009, 08:18 PM

Couldn't pass it up, LFS got over stocked and let me have a 7 inch diameter cabbage leather that surrounds a chunk of live rock for $22. Looks like a brain lol.

Anything I need to know about these that I might not have considered for read about?

great leather to get
very hardy, make sure it has enough flow on it to keep it cleaned off

I love it so far. I put it on the sand bed where a k2 from the opposite side blows that way. Still shocked it was only $22.

It looks just like a brain. It has that rounded curve to it and the twists of a human brain.

I love mine as well. Easy to care for, just make sure it has enough flow as mentioned. My bi-colour blenny regularly perches on/in/under it. Do you have a pic?

This is a great coral for nubby`s. the flow will determine what shape it takes. I have had one since day one. I have fraged it so manny times, I have got my money back 50 times over. Just cut a piece off and put it on a piece of rock with a rubber-band. In one week take off rubber - band and sel to lfs.

I'll add a pic this evening. I'm still surprised it is so big for the price.
