{"product_id":"neon-green-toadstool","title":"Neon Green Toadstool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Toadstool Leather Coral is a mainstay of the reef aquarium hobby, and for good reason. A member of the Sarcophyton genus, this soft coral is known for its hardiness and distinctive shape. This particular variety displays a vivid neon green colouration, offering a bright focal point and gentle movement to the home reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt grows a thick stalk that supports a mushroom-like cap, or capitulum. The surface of this cap is covered in long, feathery polyps that extend to feed, giving the coral a flowing, almost hairy appearance. When the polyps are retracted, the surface is smooth. It's normal for toadstools to periodically close up and develop a waxy film which they will shed as part of their natural growth process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, provide moderate lighting (100-250 PAR) and moderate water flow. The flow should be just enough to make the polyps sway gently and keep detritus from settling on the cap. Toadstools are quite adaptable with placement but generally do well on the sandbed or a low to mid-level rock. While mainly photosynthetic, they appreciate occasional feedings of phytoplankton or other soft coral foods. Like all corals, they require stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels. Give them ample space, as their cap will expand and can shade out neighbours below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA well-placed toadstool coral adds a unique form of movement to the aquarium that contrasts nicely with the rigid skeletons of stony corals. Its peaceful nature and forgiving care requirements make it a suitable choice for a wide range of reef tank styles. Running activated carbon is good practice to handle any chemical compounds they may release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a WYSIWYG listing; you'll receive a specimen of the same species with similar size and colouration to the one pictured, hand-picked for health and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42359263494199,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260807-S1F7","price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/76436844-bf30-44dd-a561-035cdbfcfc39-_MG_4598.png?v=1786130782","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/neon-green-toadstool","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
