Help me pick a finger leather coral

[Just John]

Most finger leathers I see look like they have a smooth surface, similar to many sponges. Some I see pictures of have large polyps and look fuzzy. This is what I am looking for. I see the photos, but they are never named. Can someone help me put names or a type to what I am looking for? Here is an un-named example from online:

Thanks! That's hilarious - if only I had searched for the term I just used to describe them (fuzzy).

I really enjoy my Pink Fuzzy Devil's Hand Leather in my Evo. While it's not as obviously flamboyant as a pulsing xenia, its indivdual polyps do pulse, and it's fun watching it catch smaller particles in the water column.

Exactly what I want it for - my Evo 13.5. How fast does it grow for you? I'm just concerned about it outgrowing the tank quickly.

Even if a leather gets too big, frag it, trade / sell the frags, keep the original. Rinse, Repeat.

It's a moderate grower -- just enough to keep me happy, but not enough to threaten anyone else in my tank. Unlike my Kenya Tree, which apparently wants to Conquer the World.

I have one that is really pretty. I cannot remember where I got it. So frustrating. Been looking for the last 15 minutews through stuff. I will eventually find it. I will let you know. It is really cool.


This was top down recently.


This was many months ago from front of tank.

Wow, I really appreciate your going to so much effort! I am always amazed how people are willing to spend time and effort to help others in this community. It's really been great.

Look for sinularia as well. Comes in green, pink, and both can be very fuzzy. One even "pulses" (pulsing sinularia). Very hardy and pretty fast grower.

Here's my pulsing sinularia, next to a green/yellow sinularia.

Thanks for the picture!

I think I got it from Marine Farmers. A Pulsing Sinularia. I still have not found my paperwork. Ughhh!

I think you're right. They are just out of stock right now. Thanks again!

if you didn't notice, it looks like you may not be getting the same types of corals as in the pictures, just something of the "same species". See under the picture.

Yeah, I saw it that's why I wanted to see if someone ordered it before. Some of the others pack list the corals that might be included but not this one.

Aquacorals.com has some nice stuff too. Bigger than most.

I have this crazy coral forget where from and it has grown nicely and is quite unique from most of what I have seen. My pictures are under 20KMH and actinic/purple/trueblue T5s. I only adjust the pictures for lighting (move to 20K) and sometimes clarity or contrast.
