014 – Toadstool Leather Coral

Scientific Name: Sarcophyton spp.
Type: Soft Coral


Overview

This WYSIWYG frag features a fully extended Toadstool Leather Coral with a dome-shaped cap and long, flowing polyps extending in all directions. The uniform polyp extension and healthy stalk base indicate this coral is well-settled and thriving β€” ready for quick growth in your reef.

Toadstool leathers are known for their durability, motion, and peaceful nature. They make a great centerpiece in soft coral zones and mix well with LPS and beginner SPS corals when given space and flow.


Care Requirements

Lighting:
Moderate to high (PAR 100–250). Thrives under full-spectrum LED with strong blues.

Water Flow:
Moderate to strong. Indirect flow encourages full polyp extension and keeps the cap surface clean.

Placement:
Bottom to mid-level rock. Allow 2–3 inches of space around the coral for full expansion and to prevent shading.

Feeding:
Photosynthetic. Does not require feeding but may respond to occasional amino acids in low-nutrient systems.

Aggression Level:
Low. Does not sting but can release allelopathic compounds. Carbon is recommended in mixed systems.

Growth Rate:
Moderate to fast. Grows steadily once attached and acclimated.

Difficulty:
Easy. Ideal for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.


Additional Notes

This specimen is already in full extension, meaning it has moved past the shedding/acclimation stage. Toadstools may periodically retract and slough a waxy layer β€” this is normal and part of their natural growth process. Ensure good water movement to assist.

This frag will continue to grow into a tall, waving crown with beautiful flow response β€” a perfect coral for softie displays or beginner builds.
