Sinularia flexibilis (Grade A) is a captivating medium-sized soft leather coral known for its flexible, finger-like lobes that gently sway with aquarium currents. This species adds dynamic movement and texture to reef aquariums, making it a popular choice among marine hobbyists.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists due to moderate lighting and water flow requirements.
Lighting Requirements: Prefers moderate lighting, such as LED or T5 systems, to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure the coral’s polyps can extend fully without damage.
Placement: Position in mid to lower regions of the tank, ensuring adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow room for expansion.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Sinularia flexibilis can exhibit allelopathic tendencies, so maintain distance from sensitive species.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Medium-sized; typically grows up to 15-20 cm in height under optimal conditions.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters and stable conditions will promote healthy growth. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
