while working at oceanarium i would give each elegans a 10 minute lugols dip. it worked really well in preventing the wasting away syndrome.

Blange,
There are different types of yellow leathers. Do you have a picture of yours as maybe I can do some research. The one I am talking about is Sacrophyton Elegans. Also according to a conversation that I had with Mike Janes a while ago there appears to be over 8 different sub species of this coral. I know first hand that they are prone to infections, necrotic tissue, and wasting away syndrome.

Sorry I missed your reply! I'll try to get a pic.

I do a lugols dip when I acclimate, so maybe that helped.
