Sinularia dura is a popular soft leather coral known for its sturdy structure and attractive, finger-like lobes. This Extra Extra Large specimen is perfect for advanced hobbyists looking to add a substantial and visually captivating coral to their reef aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support optimal photosynthesis. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable, but avoid sudden intense light exposure to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. This helps keep the coral clean and promotes healthy polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position Sinularia dura in a stable location with enough space to accommodate its growth. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or chemical warfare.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. It generally coexists well with other soft corals and many fish species but may release allelopathic chemicals harmful to sensitive corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of planktonic foods or coral supplements.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for long-term health. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
