Corals
Leather corals are among the most popular soft corals in marine aquaristics. Thanks to their robust nature and easy care requirements, they are ideal for beginners while also offering experienced aquarists a versatile addition to their underwater landscape.
Care and Maintenance
Leather corals prefer moderate to middle intense lighting and moderate water flow, which gently moves their polyps. They are highly adaptable and can be placed on live rock or in sandy areas. Containing zooxanthellae, they primarily obtain their energy through photosynthesis, but occasional feeding with fine particulate food can enhance their growth and health.
Unique Features and Growth
A fascinating characteristic of leather corals is their ability to undergo regular shedding phases. During this time, they form a thin mucous layer that is shed to allow for new growth. While shedding, they may temporarily retract their polyps – a natural process that should not be mistaken for illness.
Leather corals are ideal soft corals for marine aquariums, known for their graceful movement and resilience. They adapt easily to different light and water flow conditions, making them perfect for beginners as well as experienced aquarists looking to enrich their reef landscape with a vibrant and low-maintenance coral species.
