Aussie Nuclear Crown Leather (3 Squares = 2 In.)

About this coral

Aussie Nuclear Crown Leather (3 Squares = 2 In.) is a crown-style leather soft coral colony sold as a reef aquarium centerpiece. In the hobby, “crown leather” corals are commonly grouped under Lobophytum (leather coral) types, and leather corals are widely used by aquarists because they’re generally considered hardy and beginner-friendly when kept in stable conditions and provided appropriate light and flow. This listing’s “3 Squares = 2 In.” detail helps you plan how much space it will take up on the rockwork while you position the coral for feeding/flow and to reduce contact with other animals.
