| Fast Facts |
PLEASE NOTE: This is a restricted species and is not covered by our live arrival guarantee. Although this is a hardy coral, they require expert care and are recommended only for persons experienced in handling "rough shipping" corals.
One of the best soft corals for the aquarium. Rasta Leathers are off-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. 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. Also known as Spaghetti Leather.
