They need a high protein diet to keep the colors,I've always had luck with mysis,marine cuisine and fresh classic or mussels as a treat.
Good to know, I prefer my Canary to the midas- great color, constantly on the hunt for pods- rarely perches

Threw the skimmer in tonight,it's a curve 5 letting it flow over till it gets a little run time and can adjust it better.

if the foam does not stop after a day or two, I followed another member’s advice and ran the foam into a five gallon bucket and removed it. I started with dry rock and my phosphates were off the charts. I think they were creating the foam and until I removed it I couldn’t win.

Turned out my water level was too high,once I dropped it down to about 5" it's great now.

Sorry for your loss- was jealous when you got the yellow leather- I'm always looking for something different and love my leathers- odd that one would just die. I know that they don't like to be moved around but have found that they shrink if they aren't happy, so I move mine around to find their 'happy place'- lost some from shrinking but never to sudden death

So ontop of the leather dieing,had a ugly algae issue part 2.... Got everything back under control and tank is slowly recovering,fish are still all doing awesome and my plan for the end of May is to add either a gem tang or zebra tang and that will be it for fish and will concentrate on corals and an upgrade..:)
