leather toadstool coral

So whats going on?
Water perameters are in line.

I don't think its naturally propagating. Perhaps stung by torches. Some type of disease? Have noticed my nitrates up a little yet still way below defcon
Appreciate all the kind thoughts.

I doubt the Torch was able to sting it all the around like that. I don't think it's your nitrates either. By process of elimination I guess I would have to go with a disease of some sort. Which one, I have no clue. This might sound a little extreme, but if the corals condition doesn't improve you could always just lop the top off. I do this to mine about once every year or so and it always grows back. Definitely something to consider. GL.

So what is actually wrong with the Leather? Maybe a picture will help also. Leathers are known to go through a process where they close up and shed and will open back better and bigger.
