Toadstool Leather Question
I am thinking of getting a toadstool leather from saltwaterfish.com. I was wanting to see how people liked them in their tanks, and I would like to see some pics of one if it is possible. Thanks

Sarcophyton are good beginner corals. They like strong light and a fair amount of flow. Occasional supplemental feeding with phytoplankton is nice but not necessary. They can grow very large however and can easily cover most of the area of a small tank.

I was concerned about how large the toadstool would get. How large will it get? I have a 75 gallon tank.

Some grow to over 3' but the process is slow.

Gorgeous ! I have 3 small ones that I've had for a year that have done nothing. I am moving them up further in the tank now and adding more flow as I am learning about corals. We'll see what happens !!!!

The one to the left of me used to be one coral but has split into two. The one on the right was a small 50 cent piece size six months ago. I have fragged the one on the left about 8 times.

Thanks for the help. I think that it may get to large for my tank.
