Description

Lobophytum Leather Corals are very similar in make and appearance to Sarcophyton Leather Corals. The Devil’s Hand Leather takes on interesting shapes and is easily propagated into smaller colonies. This coral is fairly easy to care for and is an excellent coral for beginners as well as a low maintenance coral for experts. The Devil’s Hand Leather will do well in moderately lit aquariums. This coral will increase in size by 2/3 when it is fully opened. Provide sufficient space.

Diet

The Devil’s Hand Leather requires no feeding, as it is photosynthetic. But can supplement with reef foods, such as our Blue Zoo Mix or other small meaty foods.
