Special Requirements and Information:
Soft corals
bring motion to your tank and easy to take care
of. Leather Corals are probably the most diverse
group available to the aquarist. They feed in
the water column and use the flow to instigate
movement to assist in their feeding. They will
also fill and empty water in their bodies which
adds variation to your tank. They can be
aggressive and can sting neighbors, so keep them
a distance from others.
Feed anytime during the day. Make sure that you
use phytoplankton on a regular basis. Once
they're accustomed to your tank, they can be
introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood
worms, artemia or squid. Place the defrosted
food directly over the polyps. This coral can
get quite tall in a show tank, so keep that in
mind when you decide on final placement.
