Common name: Leather Coral

Sarcophyton, commonly known as Leather Coral, Toadstool Coral, or Mushroom Coral, is a genus of soft corals in the family Alcyoniidae. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their hardiness and ease of care. They exhibit a variety of shapes and colors, often resembling a mushroom or toadstool, with a leathery texture. Sarcophyton species are known for their symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae, zooxanthellae, which live within their tissues and provide nutrients through photosynthesis. They thrive in moderate lighting and water flow, and can grow quite large, making them a striking centerpiece in a reef aquarium.
