The Yellow Fiji Leather Coral, or as it is sometimes referred to the Sarcophyton elegans Coral can be found in multiple shades of yellow ranging from a pale yellowish tan color to a darker yellow orange coloration. Unlike other Sarcophyton corals, it does not grow an extended stalk, instead, The Yellow Fiji Leather Coral grows close to the rockwork, and will develop beautiful ruffles around the edges with time. The Yellow Fiji Leather Coral does take some care to house properly within the marine aquarium environment, with relatively high intensity lighting and medium water flow required. However, the Yellow Fiji Leather Coral will do well in almost any location within the aquarium, which makes it easier to fit this species into an established reef aquarium.
The Yellow Fiji Leather Coral is a peaceful coral, but care should be exercised in providing adequate space between itself and other corals within the reef aquarium.
