Post Toadstool leather coral problem

Hey guys. I bought this toadstool leather coral a week ago now. It started getting neon yellow/green patches and now it’s starting to get a fuzzy moldy look on some of the patches.

Likely totally normal..
Leather corals often "wilt" and shed skin to clean themselves and as part of their growth process.
They can also take a bit to get accustomed to their new environment.

Often times they will shed the skin and look bigger/better than ever before.

You didn't state anything about your system nor your parameters nor the stability of your parameters so if you think this is something else then all of that information would be required..
If this is your first leather coral then get used to it

I've had several do the same and they bounce out of it eventually. Hoping your does as well.
