Pulsing Sinularia (Sinularia Polydactyla)

Zack K · Mar 13, 2017

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with one of these. I really like to look of them and can NOT find them anywhere! If anyone is interested in selling frags I will be happy to buy!

Hmmmmm. Sinularia polydactyla is finger leather coral...I've never heard of pulsing singularia only pulsing Xenia.

Kinda resembles klyxum....colt/broccoli coral.

Zack K · Mar 17, 2017

It does but I have Colt coral and it is very different

I have one, the pulsing is only apparent during water changes because the water is super still and not nearly as dramatic as a Xenia. I don't have enough to frag yet sadly otherwise I would just give you a frag. Mine has green polyps and light purple flesh.

Where did you originally purchase it? If you don't mind me asking.

A place called "the reef farm" it's a local aquaculture facility and they run a store 3 days a week.

I don't think they ship, except to stores obviously but if you catch Grace on the phone she will talk your ear off and maybe be nice and ship something.

**BUMP** Anyone have Pictures/Frags?

Your post is actually where I saw it originally. I love your tank btw. Beautiful softy tank. It really does suck we aren't closer. I can't find this sucker ANYWHERE! Seems to be a hard to find piece.

Slim_Okrug · Mar 24, 2017

I think i was 1st one to have it in Croatia. I cut everyone who come to my house to drink coffe and discus about reefs

. Now from my colony i spread it in few tanks and i hope to spread it even more cos it is so beautiful spieces. Also thanks for nice words about my tank i appriciated it.
