Growth environment in your marine aquarium: Your reef aquarium must provide the following environmental conditions to the Yellow Fiji Leather living therein:

  • Temperature: The Sarcophyton species is comfortable within the temperature range of seventy-two to seventy-eight degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Specific gravity: The specific gravity of your marine aquarium’s water should be 1.023 to 1.025.
  • pH: The pH value of water in your marine aquarium should scale between 8.10 and 8.40.
  • Illumination: Yellow Fiji Leather requires intense light in the marine aquarium it inhabits. Metal Halides lighting is recommended for the Sarcophyton species. Low lighting of the marine aquarium hosting Yellow Fiji Leather will hamper its growth.
  • Water flow in the aquarium: High, swift, alternating water current in a reef tank suits the Yellow Fiji Leather therein.
  • Marine aquarium habit & habitat: Provide enough space to the Sarcophyton species in your marine aquarium for its complete spread. Yellow Fiji Leather occasionally sloughs its outer waxy coating to clean itself up.
  • Feeding & Nutrition: Yellow Fiji Leather derives its nutrition mainly through photosynthesis being performed by zooxanthellae, a photosynthetic alga living symbiotically within the Sarcophyton species. Yellow Fiji Leather also filter feeds upon acellular marine invertebrates, zooplankton and phytoplankton many times per week, when the Sarcophyton species is open. Add Iodine, Strontium and trace Elements to the water as dietary supplements.
