The first pic is a sample parent of my Purple Blue Plating Photosynthetic Sponge Soft Coral. Pieces are mounted to REAL rock.
Beautiful in any aquarium, it's super for Seahorse tanks too!
No feeding necessary with this beauty! The Purple Blue Plating Sponge Soft Coral is photosynthetic so will primarily get it's nutrition from your lights! Not light fussy either & can be placed almost anywhere in your tank that gets light.
The Purple Blue Plating Sponge Soft Coral looks just like a plating Montipora SPS coral without the fuss & hassle!

Special Acclimation Notes: I recommend not allowing the Red Branching Sponge to touch air but if you have to bring it up, it should be fine if exposed for a bit - time enough to transfer from the bag to the tank. Best option is to make a 2-3" cut in the bag under water & let it float for 1/2 hour then while under water, stretch the cut open to release under water.
Soft Coral Size Guide: Corals sized in inches are based on the largest size of the coral expanded whether in width or height = the amount of room it will need in your tank.
Soft Coral Color Guide: Example - Base color "Green"
"Green" = shows it's green color mostly under actinic blue lighting
Neon "Green" = glows green under actinic blue lighting
Ultra "Green" = bright or deep green under full daylights!
Toxic "Green" = glows green under full daylights!
Metallic = the color has a metallic sheen to it.
Tank raised soft corals are much easier to keep than wild soft corals, maricultured soft corals and hard corals. My aquacultured tank raised soft corals are grown from parent soft corals grown on location so are truly acclimated to thrive in an enclosed environment - your tank. Remember, like wild soft corals, aquacultured tank raised soft corals offer many benefits to reef fish like hiding places or perches and even sleep spots!
Sensational soft corals add beautiful form, color and movement to a reef tank - soft coral flowers in your "ocean garden"!!
