It is a strong choice for newer reef keepers, while still being useful in established mixed reefs where a durable, aquacultured soft coral is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToadstool leathers are generally peaceful because they do not rely on aggressive sweeper tentacles, but they can contribute to chemical competition in mixed coral systems. Give the coral room to expand, avoid crowding sensitive stony corals, and consider running activated carbon or other chemical filtration in systems with SPS or other more reactive corals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptable, with best colour and extension usually under medium to higher reef lighting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to strong, indirect flow is recommended\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful, with some chemical competition possible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottom to top, depending on your lighting and flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlace Green Toadstool where it receives steady, indirect water movement. Good flow helps keep detritus off the cap and supports normal shedding, a common leather coral behaviour where the coral may close temporarily before reopening with improved polyp extension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor best results, start the coral in a lower or mid-level position and move it gradually if stronger light is desired. In our systems, we see brighter colouration and longer polyp extension when toadstool leathers are given more light and flow, as long as changes are made gradually and water parameters remain stable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eGood For\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeginner to intermediate reef aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoft coral systems and mixed reefs with adequate spacing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReef keepers looking for movement without demanding care requirements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisplays that need a hardy green leather coral with a classic toadstool shape\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more aquacultured options in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/collections\/soft-corals\"\u003eSoft Corals collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
