Branching Toadstool per polyp

Description

Name: Branching Toadstool Coral (Sarcophyton sp.)

Description

Branching Toadstool Corals form multiple small caps on slender stalks, creating a tree-like structure rather than a single large crown. Their soft polyps extend in a gentle sway, adding constant movement and a natural reef look. They stay compact, making them ideal for mixed reefs and smaller systems.

Why We Like It

These toadstools give all the classic soft coral appeal without the huge footprint. The branching growth pattern looks unique, grows steadily but not invasively, and buds off new heads over time—perfect for customers who enjoy propagation or want a coral that develops character as it matures.

Notes

Polyps may retract for a day or two during normal shedding cycles. Provide moderate flow to help them shed cleanly and maintain vibrant extension. Can bud off new branches over time, making them excellent for sustainable fragging.
