| Fast Facts | PLEASE NOTE: Purple Hairy Finger is rarely available, never plentiful and usually sells out Monday or Tuesday, so ACT FAST WHEN AVAILABLE! One of the most popular, and best of all soft corals for the aquarium, the Hairy Finger Leather, (also known as Capnella and Kenya Tree) Corals are have a highly branching form. The branches are covered in large, conspicuous polyps. These corals grow quickly and can quickly become a showpiece. It is highly photosynthetic and does best in bright lighting and strong water movement, but they can adapt to a wide variety of conditions, and thrive in most well maintained reef aquariums. The occasionally seen Pink Hairy Finger Leather is artificially died in Indonesia, where they are collected. The dye eventually fades, but it takes forever and does not harm the coral at all. This is an immensely popular, super hardy coral. Note: These soft corals can expand and contract tremendously. Size will vary from smaller when you receive them, to larger until they have adjusted to your aquarium for a period of weeks. |
