Collection: Soft Corals

Soft corals are a diverse group of marine organisms belonging to the subclass Octocorallia, known for their flexible, fleshy structures and vibrant colors. Unlike stony corals, they lack a rigid calcium carbonate skeleton, which gives them a soft, often tree-like or leathery appearance.

Soft corals are popular in marine aquariums due to their varied forms and ease of care. They typically require moderate lighting and water flow, and are more forgiving in terms of water quality compared to many stony corals. Their flowing movements and diverse shapes, ranging from branching to encrusting forms, add a dynamic and lush aspect to aquarium landscapes.

In natural reef environments, soft corals play a crucial role in the ecosystem. They provide habitat for a variety of marine life and contribute to the structural complexity of the reef. Their adaptability to different environments makes them important both for reef health and as a resilient choice for aquarists.
