Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Sclerophytum sandense are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Sclerophytum sandense, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Sclerophytum sandense, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Sclerophytum sandense is on the one hand relatively widespread and very interesting for medicinal purposes (extracts of the soft coral are used in anti-inflammatory and anticancer drugs), but aquaristically almost nothing is known about the animal, so even standard data such as the size of the coral are missing.

Synonym: Sinularia sandensis Verseveldt, 1977
