Its growth rate may be very fast, and if placed too close to another coral it may grow right over it. Plenty of space should be provided to accommodate this future growth. If disturbed this coral may completely retract its polyps into the mat. Briareum sp. may occasionally shed a waxy sheet, which is a natural cleansing behavior. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will also benefit from occasional feedings of fine zooplankton.  Being highly adaptable and nearly pest and disease free makes them a great choice for beginners.  Most coral eating fish will not touch them; any damage that may occur to the colony is typically re-grown with vigor. They may be sensitive to the aluminum oxide in some phosphate-absorbing media, and to the over use of iodine. Occasionally blowing the colony with a baster or powerhead will help clear detritus from between the polyps and discourage nuisance algae.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStar Polyp resembles its close relative Pipe Organ coral; the main difference is speed of growth.

Snails such as the rapa rapa and little egg cowrie, nudibranches, and worms such as syllid worms, among others, may prey on soft corals. We recommend every coral be dipped before placed in a display aquarium. Leather corals may also be sensitive to the aluminum oxide in some phosphate-absorbing media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eGrowth Speed:\u003c\/b\u003e Fast      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eLighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium - High      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eAverage Placement:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium - High      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003e       \u003cb\u003eTemperament: \u003c\/b\u003eSemi-Aggressive      \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"J\u0026L Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"1-3 Inch","offer_id":41965368049754,"sku":"C-9775","price":71.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-5 Inch","offer_id":41965368082522,"sku":"C-9775A","price":87.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5-7 Inch","offer_id":41955072409690,"sku":"C-9775B","price":152.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/1636\/7450\/files\/cplc-9775_1.jpg?v=1743148589"}],"url":"https:\/\/jlaquatics.com\/collections\/leathers-soft-coral.oembed?page=2","provider":"J\u0026L Aquatics Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
