Sinularia, Nepthia, Sarcophyton and other soft corals are referred to as Leather corals due to their leathery appearance and feel. They also have a pungent leather-like odor out of the water. Leather corals like lots of light and flow. As they grow, the tentacles retract and they produce a mucus coating that  sloughs off with rapid flow. Tentacles can remain closed for extended periods of time, especially if the coral is not receiving enough flow and light. In the wild, leathers inhabit shallow tide pool areas, as well a mid reef zones. They are use to very intense lighting and flow. In the aquarium, they are easy-to-keep and can grow to a huge size. They can easily be trimmed with a scissors and the cut area closes and heals quickly. They do not need specific feeding. Leather Corals occur in a very wide range of shapes and colors are usually green or tan with some appearing almost pink.
