Yellow Leather Toadstool Coral (Sarcophyton sp.)

Bright, saturated yellow is uncommon enough in Sarcophyton that this one tends to stand out even next to other toadstools in the same tank. The stalk-and-cap structure is classic for the genus, with the broad disc doing most of the work catching light and current, and like every leather coral it'll periodically slough off a layer of tissue to reset and clear detritus, expect a dull day or two afterward before it bounces back. One of the more forgiving corals in the hobby for anyone still dialing in their system.

Care level: Easy · Light/Flow/Placement: Moderate light, moderate flow, bottom-to-mid tank · Max size: 8-12" cap diameter · Diet: Photosynthetic, no target feeding required
