Genus

Common name: Leather Coral

Scientific name: Sinularia

Sinularia is a genus of soft corals commonly known as Leather Corals. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and ease of care. Sinularia species exhibit a variety of forms, from finger-like projections to broad, leafy lobes. They are known for their symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae, zooxanthellae, which live within their tissues. This symbiosis allows them to thrive in well-lit aquariums with moderate water flow. They can be propagated easily by fragging, making them a sustainable choice for aquarists.
