Yellow Fiji leather
I just got a yellow Fiji leather and I was told it would do good in my tank but after reading up on them I am seeing they require medium to high lighting so my question is I have it in a biocube 29 will it be ok under the stock biocube lighting it looks great fully opened within 15 mins of placing in my tank.

Sounds like it is doing fine i have never had issue with them before to much lighting will turn it white. Not enough will make it stretch to the lighting.

OK I was just making sure it would be fine what about the toxins they give off how far away should it be from other corals I have a palythoa colony about 3 to 4 inches away from it but it is down current from them

The palys are probably more toxic than the Fiji leather. I have several in my tank. Two are in good bright 250MH light and are doing very well. Two are in the shade of an overhanging rock and they aren't happy (small and not growing).
