ORA Toadstool Leather

Description

ORA Toadstool Leather

Toadstool corals are a very distinctive type of soft coral. True to their name, they are more or less mushroom-shaped. Their stalk-like pedestal supports a big, flattened, leathery structure called a polypary. Younger colonies have a more convex center, while the center becomes increasingly concave with age. This coral can become quite large and bulky as it grows. Long, slender polyps extend from the top surface of the polypary in heathy specimens. The ORA Toadstool Leather is an extra-hardy strain that is well suited for beginning hobbyists. The tips of its super skinny polyps are bright white while the rest of the polyp is a rich golden tan. Its polypary is greyish tan to brown. The ORA Toadstool Leather is exceptionally adaptable and resilient; it may be placed at all levels in the tank with low-medium lighting and moderate water flow.

The Benefits of Farmed Toadstool Leather

Captive-bred livestock offers a huge advantage over wild-caught specimens. Because it is cultured in captivity, it is better adapted to living in an aquarium, tends to be more disease resistant and harbors fewer pests. It is also better able to handle shipping/acclimation stress! By purchasing captive-bred Toadstools, you support the aquaculture of marine organisms and help to make our hobby more sustainable.
