WYSIWYG toadstool leather coral ( Medium ) 001

---

Toadstool leather corals are beginner-friendly, needing moderate to high lighting, moderate to strong water flow, and stable water parameters (temperature 75-80°F, salinity 1.023-1.025, alkalinity 8-12 dKH). They shed a waxy layer to self-clean, requiring strong flow to remove it, and they may need supplemental feeding. They are also known to be slightly toxic, so place them away from sensitive corals and use activated carbon to mitigate potential chemical warfare.

Lighting

Moderate to High Light:

Toadstool leather corals generally thrive in moderate lighting but can adapt to higher intensities.

PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation):

Aim for a PAR range of 50-150, though some species need higher light for their best coloration.

Acclimation:

If introducing a coral to a higher light environment, acclimate it slowly to prevent shock.
