Details

These assorted Finger Leather Corals may contain corals of similar appearance from several leather coral genera including Lobophytum, Sinularia, Cladiella, and Sarcophyton. They are named for the lobed finger-like growth structure; identification to the species and possibly even genus level is often not possible with evaluating the individual spicules. All have similar care and growth patterns.

The "fingers" of these corals may be light yellow to pinkish-brown or even green in color. Short polyps emerge from the coral's surface, giving it a fuzzy appearance. Finger Leather corals need moderate to high lighting to support the zooxanthallae algae that lives in its tissue and from which it gets much of its food. This coral also filter-feeds and can benefit from plankton supplements and small foods. It should be places in an area with moderate to high flow to help carry away wastes and to help the coral with its occasional shedding.

Like most other leather corals, Finger Leather corals can release a toxin that irritates its neighbors and is considered moderately aggressive. Give this coral plenty of space to spread out without bothering the corals around it.

This coral is an excellent choice for an aquarist interesting in home coral propagation and "fragging". It can easily be separated into smaller colonies and moved around the tank or traded with other aquarists.
