The $10 Box & Handling Fee is charged per box, not per coral. It covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely. UPS Next Day Air is one flat livestock shipping charge per order, the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another box fee or change the shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 UPS Next Day Air livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship UPS Next Day Air for a flat $30, plus the $10 Box & Handling Fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard UPS Next Day Air rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. We ship livestock within the continental U.S. only. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Description

Toadstool Leather Coral (Sarcophyton sp.) – 3″ Frag is offered under the retail name shown in the product title.

This is a Sarcophyton-type leather coral. The trade descriptor identifies the form or appearance; it is not a verified species identification beyond the genus stated in the title.

Care Guide

Lighting: Moderate — PAR 100–250; adapts to a wide range.
Flow: Moderate — steady flow keeps the cap clean and polyps extended.
Placement: Middle rockwork with room to grow; toadstools can become large over time.
Compatibility: Low direct stinging risk, but leather corals can affect nearby corals through chemical competition. Use fresh activated carbon and provide space in mixed reefs.
Feeding: Direct feeding is generally unnecessary. Stable nutrients and normal reef feeding are usually sufficient.

Toadstools periodically close and shed a glossy surface film. Maintain steady indirect flow across the cap and avoid peeling the tissue by hand.

Shipping: Ships UPS Next Day Air from Key West. Current eligibility and delivery timing are shown at checkout.
