as the title asks, what are some leather coral options for a 40B? ideally those that do not self propagate like the kenya tree.

bonus: include a picture!

Pink Nepthea/Koji Wada
Green toadstool

I understand the different sinularias are also good as well as the weeping willow leathers. Devil's Hand if you can find it. Cabbage leather?

Green finger corals are awesome . Easy to frag too. A weeping willow toadstool or neon green toadstool are very nice and add interest to the aquarium. Devils hand leather are cool. I have Ll three in my aquarium and enjoy them all

does the koji self propagate? i really would want to avoid having to manage to manage another coral that can become invasive. i dealt with a GSP rock that i had to ultimately trade away because it started to grow on the sand and glass

To my knowledge, no. I'm sure there is some way that it propagates, but so far it has never dropped any branches Kenya tree-style. I'm only familiar with people deliberately fragging them.

Yea I have had my green nepthea for over 2 years and have never seen any form of propagating....

on a different note I did luck out when my torched bailed a head last year and now I see a baby torch on my rockscape... woo-hoo lol.

And if you do get into sps pocilapora has been a bane to my existence... spreads everywhere

Oh my, yes I read about pocciliapora right after ordering one--swapped out the order for something else. That is spreading in your tank quite a lot!
