Description
Branching Tree Coral (Sinularia sp.)
Branching Tree Corals are hardy soft coral species prized by Australian reef aquarists for their unique tree-like structure and vibrant movement in the water. Sinularia corals feature flexible branches that sway gracefully with water currents, adding texture, depth, and natural motion to any reef tank. Available in various shades of green, brown, and sometimes purple, they are ideal for beginner to intermediate aquarists seeking low-maintenance, visually appealing corals. With proper care, Branching Tree Corals can form dense, attractive colonies that enhance the natural beauty of your aquarium.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Sinularia corals are peaceful and compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates. They can coexist with other soft corals but should be spaced adequately from LPS or SPS corals to avoid overgrowth or potential stinging.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under low to moderate LED or T5 lighting. Proper lighting promotes branch extension, healthy growth, and maintains their vibrant colours. Gradually acclimate new specimens to your aquarium lighting to prevent stress or bleaching.
Water Flow Requirements
Branching Tree Corals prefer moderate water flow that allows branches to sway naturally. Gentle to moderate currents help deliver nutrients, remove waste, and keep polyps healthy without causing tissue damage.
Tank Size & Placement
Sinularia corals are suitable for small to medium marine aquariums. Place on stable rockwork or substrate with enough space to accommodate colony growth and branch expansion. Consistent water parameters and regular care will ensure your Branching Tree Coral thrives and remains a dynamic addition to your reef.
All our corals are sustainably collected or tank grown to ensure our reefs remain protected.
