Sinularia spp. (Yellow-Green) | XXL

Sinularia spp. (Yellow-Green) Leather Coral – XXL is a captivating soft coral known for its bright yellow-green coloration and robust growth. This extra extra large specimen makes a bold statement in mature reef aquariums, offering natural movement and texture.

Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. Sinularia spp. are generally hardy but require stable water parameters and moderate lighting.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum will support healthy growth without causing bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is preferred to ensure the coral’s polyps can extend fully without damage.

Placement: Position in mid to upper areas of the aquarium where lighting and flow conditions are stable. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.

Diet: Sinularia spp. primarily rely on photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can exhibit allelopathic behaviour, so maintain sufficient distance from other corals.

Origin: Not Provided.

Maximum Size: Varies by species within the genus; typically can reach substantial colony sizes in mature systems.

Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 100 litres is recommended to accommodate growth and maintain stable water conditions.

Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters and gentle handling during placement will ensure long-term health. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to prevent stress.
