Hi John,
My Devils Hand is surrounded by green button polyps, there are hundreds and
they touch the coral. On the other side there are also many Pulsing Xenias,
these grow in the button polyps as well and touch the devils hand. I would
move it away from the torch as they pack quite a punch compared to the
buttons and xenai that touch my coral.
Kind regards
Jules
PS. Srgtkoons, yes I believe leathers do use a small amount of calcium in
there construction.
