As the coral matures, the cap becomes wider and increasingly folded, developing from a small frag into a substantial feature coral with plenty of gentle movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSarcophyton\u003c\/em\u003e are octocorals, meaning each extended polyp has eight feathery tentacles. They don't build the solid calcium carbonate skeleton of LPS or SPS corals; instead, tiny internal structures called \u003cstrong\u003esclerites\u003c\/strong\u003e help support their flexible body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToadstools are proper old-school reef corals for good reason. They're hardy, easy to enjoy and can grow into genuinely impressive centrepiece colonies. A large Toadstool with its polyps fully extended adds shape, height and movement that looks completely different from a reef filled only with stony corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA hardy, photosynthetic soft coral that doesn't require direct feeding. Moderate varied flow encourages good polyp extension and helps with its natural shedding process. Toadstools periodically close and develop a smooth or waxy surface before shedding a thin film and reopening ? normal behaviour for a healthy leather coral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627169341776,"sku":"THRC-0077","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/toadstool-sarcophytum-73","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
