Purple Cabbage Leather Coral Frag

Add regal elegance and stunning color contrast to your reef with our magnificent Purple Cabbage Leather Coral! This captivating leather coral features a rich purple base coloration complemented by vibrant green polyps, creating a mesmerizing dual-tone effect that brings visual depth and sophisticated beauty to any reef system. The characteristic “cabbage” morphology displays beautiful, layered, flowing tissue that resembles delicate cabbage leaves, creating organic movement and naturalistic appeal as water flows through the coral. Purple Cabbage Leather Corals are celebrated for their impressive fast-growing nature, rapidly developing from frags into substantial specimens that become striking focal points in your aquascape. These hardy, reliable soft corals thrive in a wide range of lighting and flow conditions, making them excellent choices for both beginner and experienced aquarists seeking both beauty and ease of care. Important Note: This frag is not a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) offering. The image shown is our mother colony demonstrating the mature appearance and full potential of this stunning coral. You will receive a healthy, vibrant frag with similar coloration characteristics (purple base with green polyps) and comparable growth potential—expect slight natural variations in exact purple intensity, polyp coloration, tissue thickness, and leaf-like structure, as each frag develops unique character and may adjust appearance based on lighting and water conditions after acclimation. Your frag will grow and develop into a specimen similar to our mother colony shown. Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Moderate to high; Purple Cabbage Leather Corals thrive with good light exposure to maintain their rich purple coloration and vibrant green polyps while supporting vigorous, fast growth and development.
• Water Flow: Moderate; steady, consistent flow encourages healthy tissue extension and promotes robust, rapid growth while preventing detritus accumulation around the coral; avoid excessive turbulent flow.
• Placement: Position on rockwork in an open area where water flow can move the coral’s flowing tissue gracefully; allow adequate space for the frag to expand rapidly without being crowded by neighboring corals.
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but occasional feedings of liquid phytoplankton or fine particle foods will enhance growth, support vibrant coloration, and accelerate the frag’s development into a substantial specimen.
• Growth & Propagation: Fast-growing under proper conditions; rapidly develop from frag into impressive specimens with stunning coloration; mature quickly and become candidates for fragging as they expand.
• Water Conditions: Extremely tolerant of variable parameters; thrive in established reef or fish-only systems; adaptable to pH, temperature, and salinity fluctuations within normal aquarium ranges.
• Maintenance: Minimal intervention required; allow the frag to expand naturally; monitor for overcrowding and provide adequate space for vigorous growth; frag as needed to manage size.
• Care Level: Easy—hardy and beginner-friendly; thrive in most established reef systems with standard lighting and flow conditions; highly tolerant of variable parameters.
