Sinularia brassica - corals for beginners in marine aquarium keeping
In contrast to stony corals, leather and soft corals do not form a solid skeleton made of calcium carbonate. They are therefore more tolerant of fluctuations in calcium concentration and KH values. Soft corals are perfect candidates for both beginners in reef aquarium keeping and for aquarists who do not (want to) pay meticulous attention to their water values.
Colorful Sinularia - soft corals like current and light
Green or yellow soft corals need a lot of light to maintain their beautiful coloring, so position them in well-lit areas of your aquarium.
High nutrient values? No problem for soft corals!
Leather and soft corals cope well with increased nutrient concentrations. Phosphate concentrations of up to 0.2 mg/l and nitrate concentrations of up to 20 mg/l are considered perfectly acceptable. They are therefore not only ideal for a newly set up or small reef aquarium, but also for keeping with fish. Note that colorful soft corals can temporarily lose their intense colors when nutrient levels are high.
