Pink Toadstool Leather Live Aquaculture Soft Coral

from $74.95

Pink Toadstool Leather Coral – Live Aquaculture Soft Coral | coralSLover®

Classification: Premium Soft Coral (Sarcophyton sp.)

Why It’s Premium:
While many toadstool varieties are beige or tan, this pink morph is rarer and highly sought after for its soft pastel hues and consistent coloration under varied lighting conditions. Its large, flowing cap adds depth, balance, and movement to reef aquascapes.

Bring refined elegance and natural movement to your reef with the Pink Toadstool Leather Coral from coralSLover®. This aquacultured coral features a soft pink to pastel-rose body and stalk that expands into a broad, cap-like surface with light pink tips — creating a graceful, mushroom-like silhouette that sways gently in the aquarium’s flow.

Scientific Information:
The Pink Toadstool Leather Coral (Sarcophyton sp.) belongs to the family Alcyoniidae, a group of soft corals characterized by their fleshy, leathery texture and ability to retract polyps into a smooth, dome-shaped surface. These corals house symbiotic zooxanthellae (Symbiodinium spp.), which provide energy through photosynthesis. Like other soft corals, they periodically shed a thin mucous film — a natural process that removes detritus and maintains healthy tissue respiration.

Hosting Behavior: This coral can host clownfish, providing an anemone-like surface that encourages natural interaction and activity within the tank.

Great For: Hobbyists seeking a hardy centerpiece soft coral with subtle color and elegant motion; compatible with both mixed-reef and soft-coral systems.

Lighting: Low to moderate lighting is generally sufficient. Soft corals thrive under a range of conditions, with many showing their best coloration under balanced or slightly blue spectrum lighting.

Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement helps keep tissue clean and encourages natural swaying motion. Avoid overly strong flow that can cause the polyps to retract or tear.

Placement: Flexible placement — mid to lower rockwork or areas with steady but gentle flow work best. Many soft corals can adapt well to different areas of the tank as they grow and spread.

Water Quality: Stable, clean water with moderate nutrients supports healthy growth. Soft corals are often more forgiving than SPS or LPS but still benefit from regular maintenance and stability.

Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but may benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of fine particulate foods to support faster growth and polyp extension.

Difficulty: Beginner friendly and adaptable, making them excellent starter corals. They can thrive in a wide range of reef conditions with consistent care.

Sustainability: Fully aquacultured, zero wild collection — responsibly propagated for long-term aquarium success.

Disclaimer:
Corals on the pictures are not WYSIWYG, photos was made under different lighting (blue or white lights) and in different tank (our show of frag tanks). You will get coral size as described, shape and color could be slightly off due to shipping stress.
After shipping stress soft corals (Mushrooms, Cloves, all types of  Leathers) always will  look shrink and colorless, won't look as on photos. For them to recover and adjust to new environments they will need 3-7 days in low lights and flow. Specially for mushroom we recommend to keep they under 100PAR and less.
