📜 Backstory
Sold by Barrier Reef Aquariums as the 'Toxic Green Cabbage Coral' at around $40, explicitly listed as Sinularia brassica and as a locally aqua-cultured frag rather than wild stock, which is why it is treated here as man-made/aquacultured. The 'cabbage coral' label overlaps the cabbage-leather trade name; species attribution differs by vendor (Sinularia brassica vs. Sinularia dura), so the exact species under this trade name is debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
An easy beginner frag; give moderate-to-high light and moderate-to-strong flow and it will adapt to almost any tank position, spreading into folded sheets over time. Run carbon, as Sinularia release terpenes that can stunt nearby stony corals.
