📜 Backstory
'Toxic Green' is a loose descriptive trade label used for vivid fluorescent-green Sarcophyton leathers; the exact term is applied inconsistently across vendors and overlaps with names like 'neon green' or 'green toadstool.' These bright-green leathers were selected from Indo-Pacific wild colonies and are now propagated widely by hobbyists and farms because Sarcophyton fragments and grows readily. Their ubiquity keeps them cheap and makes them a common beginner leather.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place it in low-to-moderate light and moderate flow on a rock where it has room to expand; expect periodic shedding of a waxy film (normal self-cleaning) and don't bother it during the closed/shed phase.
