Representative Cabbage Leather Coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A genuinely neon-green color form of the cabbage leather, with the lobed cabbage-leaf growth form that glows under actinic/blue light. Much louder than the standard tan colonies.
📜 Backstory
A widely traded color form listed by Tidal Gardens as 'Neon Green Cabbage Leather' and by many other vendors (Vivid Aquariums, The Reef Farm, etc.). Species is debated in the hobby: Tidal Gardens and Reef Builders treat the true cabbage leather (including the neon-green form) as Sinularia dura, while vendors such as The Reef Farm and LiveAquaria label green cabbage leathers as Sinularia brassica. So the precise species behind any given neon-green piece is genuinely unsettled. Sold as a hardy, beginner-friendly softie; specific collection lineage is not documented.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give it medium light and adaptable, moderate flow; mount on a low ledge where it can spread into its signature folded, cabbage-like sheets without shading neighbors. Expect periodic polyp retraction and waxy shedding, which is a normal self-cleaning process.
