Staghorn Soft Coral (Sinularia sp.)

Overview:
The Staghorn Soft Coral is a hardy and attractive leather coral, named for its branching, staghorn-like growth form. Its finger-like projections sway beautifully in the current, adding natural movement and structure to reef aquariums. Available in shades of cream, tan, or green, it’s a popular choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers.

Origin:
Native to the Indo-Pacific, commonly found on reef flats and slopes where it thrives in moderate currents.

Feeding:
Primarily photosynthetic, sustained by symbiotic zooxanthellae. Can benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with phytoplankton, microplankton, or other coral foods.

Tank Mates:
Reef-safe and compatible with most peaceful fish and invertebrates. Should be placed with space around it, as larger colonies may release chemicals that affect nearby corals (chemical warfare).

Aggression:
Moderate. Does not sting but can compete chemically with other corals. Running activated carbon and maintaining good water flow helps reduce this effect.

Experience Level:
Beginner to intermediate. Very hardy and tolerant of a range of conditions, making it an excellent soft coral for mixed reef tanks. Prefers moderate lighting, moderate to strong water flow, and stable parameters.

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 72–78°F (22–25.5°C)

• pH: 8.1–8.4

• Salinity: 1.023–1.025

• dKH: 8–12
