📖 Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons
Large and impressive soft coral. Releases terpenoids that can inhibit nearby stony coral growth — needs good water flow and carbon filtration. Will periodically close up and shed a waxy coat — this is normal.

Fast-growing leather that waves in the current and adds instant scale to a tank. Extremely forgiving for beginners.
⚠ CHEMICAL WARFARE
Control Difficulty: Easy (physical) / Moderate (chemical) — Does not physically spread at all, so no pruning needed. The risk is chemical — terpenoids it releases can stunt or kill nearby stony corals. Run activated carbon and keep 6+ inches clearance from LPS and SPS. Easy to manage once placed correctly.
