Lime Sinularia Tree Leather Coral Frag

Lime Sinularia Tree Leather, Sinularia sp., is a hardy photosynthetic leather coral known for its branching tree-like growth, textured surface, and soft coral movement. This WYSIWYG frag features a mottled purple, tan, and cream base with bright lime-green polyp areas and branching lobes that create a colorful, high-contrast look under reef lighting. Sinularia corals are popular with reef hobbyists because they are adaptable, attractive, and excellent for adding movement and texture to established reef aquariums.

Care Guide: Sinularia sp. generally does best in moderate lighting and moderate indirect water flow. Provide enough flow to help the coral shed its natural waxy film and keep the surface clean, but avoid harsh direct blasting that may keep the polyps retracted. Place this frag on stable rockwork where it has room to expand and branch outward. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium. This coral is photosynthetic and does not require target feeding, though it may benefit from dissolved nutrients and fine particulate foods in a mature reef system. Use caution with close placement, as leather corals can produce chemical compounds that may irritate nearby corals; activated carbon and good water changes are helpful in mixed reefs.
