Devils hand leather coral

Id like to add the Devils hand leather to my tank. Is there anything bad I should know about this coral? It looks really cool.
 
I dearly love my devil's hand leather. It looks really cool in the tank too! Things to know: leathers shed periodically, especially when stressed, but not always; when shedding, leathers can release toxins that will harm other corals, especially SPS it seems. So placement in the tank is critical. You want to place them where they receive enough light and flow, but not directly in front of a powerhead that will then blow those toxins all over your other corals. It's not as critical if you aren't keeping SPS, as many of the other corals can hold up to the toxins. And it helps to run carbon during the sheds.
