Green Devil's Hand Leather

Green Devil’s Hand Leather Coral, commonly identified as Lobophytum sp., is a hardy soft coral with thick finger-like lobes, bright green highlights, and small extended polyps that give it excellent texture and natural movement in the reef aquarium. Its branching leather-like form makes it a great choice for adding structure to a soft coral or mixed reef display, while its durability and attractive green coloration make it suitable for many hobbyists looking for a reliable, eye-catching coral.

Care Guide: Green Devil’s Hand Leather Coral, Lobophytum sp., is generally easy to care for and does best in moderate lighting with moderate, indirect water flow that helps keep its surface clean and encourages good polyp extension. Like other leather corals, it may occasionally close and shed a thin waxy layer as part of its natural cleaning process, so steady water movement is important. Keep it in stable reef conditions, allow room for growth, and avoid placing it too close to aggressive corals that may sting or irritate it. This photosynthetic soft coral usually does well without target feeding but benefits from a mature, balanced aquarium with consistent maintenance.
