Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Green Polyp Toadstool Leathers are a hardy, easy-to-maintain coral; are easy to propagate and can grow very quickly into an attractive show piece in the aquarium. Toadstools are considered peaceful, beacuse they don't have sweeper tentacles; however, they grow rapidly and can release a toxin that irritates its neighbors, so ensure you provide enough space between these corals and their neighbors; for a safe introduction, give them a saltwater rinse after shipping and ensure your filtration has carbon. Toadstools can tolerate many non-ideal conditions, such as low light and high nutrients, although it is important to keep nitrates and phosphates low for the continued success of this coral. That being said, most will do best with a moderate flow/lighting and nutrient combination.
- - Provide an aquarium placement with moderate lighting and stronger water flow
- - Provide supplemental additions of iodine and other trace elements
- - For continued health, supplement with planktonic foods
- - Cannot tolerate copper medications
- - Great beginner coral
- - Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
