Sclerophytum species are among the hardy and easy-to-keep leather corals that were often found in tanks, especially in the early days of reef aquariums.
They are not as demanding as stony corals in terms of water quality and still grow well even in less than ideal conditions.
However, the possibilities today are somewhat different than they were 20 years ago.

Nevertheless, Sclerophytum species can still be found today, as they are passed on both in specialist shops and by breeders through breeding.
