My Fiji Leather just died too
I am not sure how much they mess up the tank, did not kill anything in my tank, protien skimmer went nuts. I left mine in until it was black ;-( I guess I was just hoping he would turn around....
I have a long tentacle leather that is doing great though.

I would keep it in for awhile. Don't give up yet. Leather corals have a tendency to get ugly every once in awhile in my opinion. How much flow and light is it getting? I wouldn't get rid of it after two days though. I had a leather that shrunk up, and took over two months to appear healthy again.

What are your water parameters? (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, salt, temp etc)
Is this a newly acquired coral? If so, it's normal for a leather coral to shrink up and appear slightly green. However, if the leather coral begins to "melt" I would dispose of it immediately. A dying/melting leather coral in a 30g display may be a disaster. I've found them to be rather toxic in small water volumes. You may want to run carbon. |

If you have metal halide lighting move it so it's not directly under the light. Also, too much water flow can have a negative effect.
