Care Guide

Lighting: Moderate — PAR 100–250; adapts to a wide range.
Flow: Moderate — steady flow keeps the cap clean and polyps extended.
Placement: Middle rockwork with room to grow; toadstools can become large over time.
Compatibility: Low direct stinging risk, but leather corals can affect nearby corals through chemical competition. Use fresh activated carbon and provide space in mixed reefs.
Feeding: Direct feeding is generally unnecessary. Stable nutrients and normal reef feeding are usually sufficient.

Toadstools periodically close and shed a glossy surface film. Maintain steady indirect flow across the cap and avoid peeling the tissue by hand.

Shipping: Ships UPS Next Day Air from Key West. Current eligibility and delivery timing are shown at checkout.
