Toadstool leathers are one of the most common starter corals. They are flexible with their lighting and water flow requirements, can handle less than perfect water conditions, and are overall, very resilient. For aquarists who want soft or easily removed corals, toad stool leathers are an excellent option. If they decide to change their aquarium’s direction to an SPS aquarium, the toadstool leather can easily be detached.

Toadstool leather corals can be fed with a variety of foods, including Phtyo2, a phytoplankton food, or Reef Cafe, a combination of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and amino acids. Good water parameters and regular feeding of corals will increase growth and color, in most cases.

Toadstool leather corals benefit greatly from adding a trace supplement to the aquarium. Adding a product like Brightwell Aquatic’s Trace will really help these corals flourish! It will provide the necessary trace elements and is easy to dose.
