Species: Sarcophyton spp.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Leather Coral
WWC Speckled Leather is a hardy and visually striking soft coral known for its textured surface and unique speckled coloration. This leather coral develops a thick, mushroom-shaped cap covered in extended polyps that create a soft, flowing appearance in the aquarium. Its tan, cream, and greenish hues are accented by contrasting speckles and fluorescent highlights that become more pronounced under blue-spectrum lighting. As the polyps sway gently in the current, WWC Speckled Leather adds natural movement and a bold presence to reef aquariums of all sizes.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Leather Coral
Lighting: Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; stronger, turbulent flow helps keep the coral clean and encourages healthy polyp extension
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; benefits from occasional broadcast feeding of phytoplankton or fine coral foods
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; may release chemical compounds that can affect nearby corals, so activated carbon and proper spacing are recommended
Placement: Best placed on stable rockwork with adequate room for expansion and moderate water movement
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
