Sinularia spp. | XXL

Sinularia spp. are popular soft leather corals known for their attractive, finger-like lobes and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. This XXL specimen offers a substantial presence, perfect for larger tanks and experienced hobbyists looking to add texture and movement to their reef scape.

Lighting: Sinularia spp. thrive under moderate lighting conditions. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching, but ensure sufficient illumination to support their symbiotic zooxanthellae.

Water Flow: Moderate to strong, indirect water flow is ideal. This helps keep the coral clean and encourages polyp extension without causing tissue damage.

Placement: Position this leather coral in a location with adequate space around it to prevent aggressive interactions with neighbouring corals. Sinularia spp. can release chemical compounds that may affect sensitive species, so maintain good water circulation and spacing.

Care Level: Moderate. While generally hardy, Sinularia spp. benefit from stable water parameters and regular monitoring.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Suitable for reef tanks but avoid placing too close to delicate corals.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic algae, but may benefit from occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods.

Additional Notes: Regular water changes and maintaining optimal water quality will support healthy growth. Watch for signs of stress such as tissue recession or discolouration.
