coral problem

[Tam]

i need an id for this coral and also what could be wrong with it as although i aint experienced i know something aint right.
and if possible what can i do to save the poor thing.i think it is some kind of leather but not sure which and it does`nt open out and its finger like spines dont come out anymore either...

[lReef lKeeper]

does it have a stalk on the bottom that it stands on ?? do you have a pic of what is wrong with it ??

[PurpleAardvark]

It is a toad stool (softie)

i think we got it figured out Don, thanx though. i think it is just shedding the dead tissue and algea.

[PurpleAardvark]

I would agree with that is shedding the tissue. I would check our Iodine levels maybe adding a little will smooth the tissue sheading. Is it discoloring at the base?

[lReef lKeeper]

says it is kind of "really faded green around the edges". mine looks like that when it sheds.
