Representative Cabbage Leather Coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The widely traded green color form of the cabbage leather: a predominantly green-to-mint colony, often with a maroon body and mint-green polyps, in the lobed cabbage-leaf shape.
📜 Backstory
A generic but real trade form stocked by many vendors. LiveAquaria sells it as 'Green Cabbage Leather Coral (Sinularia brassica)' and also offers a Certified Captive Grown (CCGC) aquacultured version, and it is carried by Premier Reefs, Whitlyn Aquatics, Queen City Corals and others as aquacultured or wild green Sinularia. Sources disagree on species: it is sold as both Sinularia brassica and Sinularia dura, so the exact species is debated rather than tied to a named designer line.
Keeper tips for this variant
Very forgiving; moderate-to-strong intermittent flow and a range of lighting (T5, LED, or halide) keep it healthy and help maintain color, and it can be placed almost anywhere from low rock to sandbed ledges. Run carbon in mixed reefs since it can chemically suppress sensitive stonies.
