Representative Finger leather coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
An intensely fluorescent green base with greenish-yellow polyps, branching in a tree-like manner with many irregular fingers. The neon glow pops hardest under blue/actinic light, and like all Sinularia it can inflate and deflate, sometimes staying deflated for a day or two.
📜 Backstory
A maricultured line produced by ORA (Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums), one of the longest-running US coral aquaculture facilities, and one of the most widely distributed named Sinularia in the hobby. It is sold through ORA's dealer network including AlgaeBarn, Bulk Reef Supply, LiveAquaria, Frags2Fishes and SaltwaterAquarium.com. The original wild lineage traces to the Indo-Pacific, but the cultured strain has been propagated in captivity for years.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place in moderate light (~50-150 PAR) and moderate-to-strong flow; good flow is essential so it can shed its periodic waxy tunic cleanly. Iodine, strontium and trace element supplementation is appreciated.
