Overview

The Dish-Top Leather Coral, also known as the Toadstool Coral, is a striking soft coral renowned for its broad, mushroom-shaped cap atop a sturdy stalk. Its textured surface is adorned with numerous small polyps that extend to create a lively, waving appearance in the aquarium currents. Originating from the vibrant Indo-West Pacific, these corals are prized for their hardiness and aesthetic appeal, making them a fantastic addition to reef aquariums. They are relatively fast-growing and can become a substantial centerpiece in a mature display.

Care Level

Easy. The Dish-Top Leather Coral is a forgiving species, making it an excellent choice for beginner reef keepers. It is tolerant of minor fluctuations in water parameters and doesn’t require specialized feeding. Its robust nature ensures it can withstand the typical challenges of a developing reef tank.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 150 gallons (approximately 570 liters) is recommended. This coral thrives in stable marine conditions with a pH range of 8.0–8.4, a temperature of 20–27°C (68–81°F), and a specific gravity of 1.023–1.025.
