Green Toadstool Coral

You will receive a frag SIMILAR in shape and size to the coral in the photo. This is NOT a WYSIWYG frag. All our frags are generally 3/4” - 1”

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Moderate to high (PAR 100-250). Can adapt to different lighting conditions but thrives under stable, moderate-intensity light.

• Flow: Moderate to strong; requires good water movement to prevent detritus buildup and encourage polyp extension.

• Placement: Middle to upper areas of the tank, away from aggressive corals to avoid chemical warfare.

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 76-80°F (24-27°C)

• Salinity: 1.025 SG (35 PPT)

• pH: 8.1-8.4

• Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH

• Calcium: 380-450 ppm

• Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm

Feeding & Nutrition:

Toadstool corals primarily rely on photosynthesis but can benefit from occasional feedings of phytoplankton, amino acids, and coral foods to promote growth.

Compatibility & Challenges:

• Releases chemical toxins (allelopathy) that can inhibit the growth of nearby corals—use carbon and regular water changes to minimize impact.

• Occasionally undergoes shedding (forms a waxy layer and stops extending polyps); this is normal and helps remove debris and algae.

• Can grow very large over time, so ensure enough space in your aquascape.

Final Tips:

Provide moderate to strong flow, ensure good water quality, and be patient during shedding periods. With proper care, Toadstool Leather Corals can be a stunning, long-lived addition to a reef tank!
