Aussie Sinularia Leather (4 Inches)

About this coral

Aussie Sinularia Leather (4 Inches) is a soft coral from the Sinularia leather-corals group (genus Sinularia sp.) sold as a large, display-ready piece for reef aquariums. In a tank, it provides the classic “leather” look—soft, flexible tissue with finger-like or lobe-like extensions—and is typically appreciated as a beginner-friendly soft coral when given suitable light and water movement.

Features:

• Group-level Sinularia leather-corals care is generally considered forgiving and a good step up into soft corals.
• Provide moderate to strong, reliable circulation so the coral’s tissue stays healthy and comfortable.
• Use moderate to bright lighting (often high enough for photosynthesis, but avoid sudden lighting shocks).
• Place the coral where it can sway naturally without being blasted directly by a powerhead.
• Sinularia leathers compete chemically with nearby corals in a mixed reef, so consider spacing and overall tank chemistry/filtration.
• Most care is accomplished through stable tank conditions rather than heavy direct feeding.
• Leathers can release irritating compounds if handled or stressed; move and mount carefully to reduce tissue damage.
