Mushroom leather corals - corals for beginners in marine aquariums
Unlike 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.
Sarcophyton -Soft corals like current
The tentacles of the mushroom leather coral like it turbulent - a changing and sometimes strong current is ideal.
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.
