Soft Coral
Finger Leather Coral.
A hardy soft coral that sends up soft, finger-like branches that sway with the current — one of the easiest corals to keep and a great first step into reefkeeping. Peaceful and reef-safe; give it moderate light and flow in a tank of 30 gallons or more.
Live fish are priced per supplier batch — prices may vary. Call to confirm current pricing.

Good tank mates
A peaceful soft coral that does well in mixed reef tanks alongside other softies, zoanthids, mushrooms, and most LPS, plus reef fish and invertebrates. Give it some space from neighboring corals, since like many leathers it can release chemical compounds (terpenoids) into the water that may irritate nearby corals in a small or poorly circulated tank. Run carbon and good water movement when keeping it with sensitive SPS.
Good to know
Finger leather corals periodically shed a waxy surface film to slough off algae and debris, looking dull or 'closed up' for a day or two before reopening clean.
