Flourescent Green Rasta Leather
Sinularis
Flexibillis
Also called Spaghetti leather
100's of
tentacles. Super long, super flowing, beautiful coloration
|
The Spaghetti Finger Leather Coral
has very
long strands of leather is the best way to describe this favorite
from Fiji. Lot's of long robust strands add lots of movement
to your reef tank. One of the best soft corals for the aquarium.
Spaghetti Leathers are golden-white to green in color and have
a highly branching form and are covered in tiny polyps. These
corals grow quickly and can quickly become a showpiece after
they are established. Does best in medium to bright lighting,
and strong water movement. Proper water movement is mandatory
for these corals. A direct flow of water from a pump "drilling
into the coral " will destroy newly imported pieces, but
weak current is equally bad. Strong water flow throughout the
tank, for example, directed at tank walls, is recommended. Alternating
or pulsing water flow is even better. When placing them in your
aquarium, find a good spot and leave them alone. HANDLE THEM
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Excessive handling can damage newly arrived
specimens. Once established, these corals are quite hardy, not
as touchy as their initial requirements sound. Larger specimens
are more "branchy" than smaller ones and make an impressive
display with pulsing water movement.

or rubble. Approximate shipping size: Small: 1" to 2";

Green Finger Leather
Sinularia
sp.
|
Green Finger Leather Coral, Sinularia
sp., brings depth to the aquascape of the home aquarium. It is
a coral that requires a medium to high amount of lighting, but
will do fine with a medium to high water flow. Its placement
should be in the middle or lower levels of the aquarium. The
Green coloration of the finger leather is the most popular coloration
for reef tank Finger Leathers. Finger Leathers will benefit from
feedings of any supplement designed for filter feeders. Iodine
and strontium will help ensure its continued good health.
Ships as a cluster growing from
a piece of Live Rock.

Yellow
Tonga Leather
Sarcophyton
elegans
The Yellow Fiji Leather Coral may
be referred to as the Sarcophyton elegans Coral. It can be found
in shades of yellow, and unlike other Sarcophyton corals, it
does not grow an extended stalk. Instead, these corals grow close
to the rockwork, and will develop beautiful ruffles around the
edges. It is a relatively peaceful coral but adequate space should
be provided between itself and others in the reef aquarium. The
Yellow Fiji Leather Coral requires medium to high lighting combined
with moderate to strong water movement. For continued good health,
it will also require the addition of strontium, iodine, and other
trace elements to the water. Culturing by the experienced hobbyist
is often accomplished by cutting off a portion of the crown and
attaching that piece to live rock or placing it in the sandy
bottom of the reef aquarium. The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae
hosted within its body provides the majority of its nutritional
needs from the light driven process of photosynthesis. It will
also benefit from additional food such as micro-plankton, baby
brine shrimp, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.
It is normally shipped attached to a small piece of live rock
or rubble. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 2" to 3";
Medium: 3" to 5"; Large: 5" to 7"

Direct from the

definitely brighten up your tank. Leather corals comprise a large
sector of the soft coral group. Most are quite adaptable to lighting
conditions and will tolerate higher nutrient levels within the
aquarium. Many are very hardy and therefore recommended for the
beginner. Leather corals do occasionally appear to have a waxy
buildup - this is a normal shedding of their outer skin. |

Yellow Sinularia
|
Leather corals of the genus Sinularia
are generally hardy and make excellent additions to a beginner
or advanced reef aquarium. They are fast growers and can quickly
turn into a the showpeice of the tank. Coming from many islands
in the Indopacific, including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and
the Great Barrier Reef. Sinularia does not require as much light
as some other corals. It can be kept under normal output fluorescents
without much difficulty. In some cases, it may extend more readily
under subdued lighting, however it may display brighter coloration
when placed under stronger lighting. Moderate water movement
is recommended. Sinularia relies heavily on the products of their
zooxanthellae but also may feed on phytoplankton and similarly
sized microfauna in the water column. Leather corals comprise a large sector
of the soft coral group. Most are quite adaptable to lighting
conditions and will tolerate higher nutrient levels within the

branches out, forming a tree with feathery polyps. Easy to grow.
You slice it and propagate it, by attaching it to other bases.
Very easy to grow, and keep looking good! Very hardy (no need
to worry about keeping these), will thrive under virtually any
light or water flow conditions |

to the trade in a bright red color. A real beauty and simple
to keep. Does well in low light areas of your tank. .Non
photosynthetic, does not require light. Do not place directly
under bright lights, place in lower areas of the tank or in caves,
out of the direct path of light, preferably in shaded areas.
Generally easy to care for, it fares best under medium to high
water current, does best with alternating/pulsating/changing
water movement. Does best with supplemental feeding with foods
such as liquid phytoplankton, but don't over do it. |

Blue
Palm Coral
(Nephtheis fascicularis)
Incredibly
beautiful!
|
The Blue Palm Coral originates
from the shallow reefs of Indonesia and has a thick base with
multiple branches, or stalks with asparagus-like heads. These
asparagus-like heads are comprised of clusters of zooids that
continually filter the water for food. It is common for the Blue
Palm to drop their heads both during transit, and within the
aquarium. During this time, the tunicate will cover itself with
a clear mucous. This is not an indication of poor health. Within
a short time, it will blossom and form new flower like heads.
The Blue Palm is non-photosynthetic and has no lighting requirements,
but should be placed in an area of strong water current. Though
not nescessary (they eat dissolved matter), they will benefit
from supplemental feeding with liquid plankton and other dissolved
organic foods, as well as benefiting from the addition of iodine
and trace elements. **Advanced

Green Kenya Tree
capnella
spp.
Description: The
common name for this beauty is either Kenya Tree or Capnella.
It is a soft (leather) coral from the Pacific ocean. A quick
grower given proper lighting and good water flow. Capnella will
grow back from the tiniest bit of flesh left behind and holds
fast to any substrate to which it attaches. Like most “Leather”
corals, Capnella will routinely shed a “mucous tunic”
to clear itself of algae, debris, etc.This is generally observed
by the colony closing for a period of hours to days, followed
by a shedding of a thin clear film that may take one to several
days to complete. Colonies kept in higher flow areas will “shed”
less often.
Diet Requirements: May take up planktonic organisms through normal polyp
feeding, and/or dissolved organics through it’s mucous net/flesh.
However, Capnella harbors zooxanthellae and can subsist and thrive
entirely without any direct feeding.
Lighting: Normal output lighting may be sufficient for certain
individual colonies to survive if they are also provided with
supplemental nutrition. However, reef lighting should be used
for a good chance for success.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Photosynthetic: Yes, no feeding required |

Why Phytoplankton:
Phytoplankton
is very important to marine life. It is the primary producers
in the ocean. Crucial to the development and survival of most,
if not all marine animals . But what is phytoplankton? It is
just a fancy word for tiny floating plants (such as diatoms and
dinoflagellates), which serve the same role in the food chains
of the oceans as grass and shrubs serve on land; namely small
things eat them. Many coral reef animals feed directly on phytoplankton.
Some essential nutrients provided by phytoplankton cannot be
synthesized by animals, and therefore are extremely important
components of a healthy diet. |
