Sinularia flexibilis, commonly known as the Finger Leather Coral, is a popular soft coral prized for its flexible, finger-like lobes and gentle swaying movement in the aquarium current. This Grade A small specimen is perfect for hobbyists seeking a resilient and visually appealing addition to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Easy to moderate care makes Sinularia flexibilis suitable for both novice and experienced marine aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: Prefers moderate lighting conditions, such as LED or T5 lighting systems, to maintain healthy growth and vibrant colouration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure the coral’s polyps gently sway without being damaged.
Placement: Position this coral in mid to lower areas of the aquarium where it has enough space to expand without touching neighbouring corals, as it can engage in chemical warfare.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy coexistence.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, relying on symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific supplements.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15-20 cm in a home aquarium setting.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 75 litres (20 gallons) and above to provide sufficient space and stable water parameters.
