This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive through growth and chemical competition
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to its final light level, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the coral clean and support normal opening without continuously blasting the tissue.

Placement

Place it in a middle reef area with room to grow. Give it time to adjust after placement and avoid crowding it against nearby corals.

Temperament

Leave space around this semi-aggressive soft coral. Growth and chemical competition can affect neighboring corals, so plan its location with separation in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually not required, as this coral is generally supported by light and dissolved nutrients in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and adequate water movement. Watch for normal waxy shedding cycles, which can temporarily change its appearance, and allow the coral time to recover and reopen afterward.

Give this leather coral room, stable care, and patient observation as it settles.
