What are Leptoseris Corals?

Leptoseris corals are beautiful SPS/LPS-style plating corals known for their bright colours, fine texture, and unique growth patterns. They often grow in thin, encrusting or plating shapes and can display stunning shades of orange, gold, green, yellow, and even metallic tones under reef lighting. Leptoseris are a good coral for reef tank hobbyists who want something different from the usual soft corals or larger LPS corals, while still adding strong colour and detail to the aquascape.

Care Guide

Leptoseris corals generally prefer low to moderate lighting, making them a great choice for shaded areas of the reef tank where other corals may not thrive. Too much strong light can cause them to fade or bleach, so they should be slowly acclimated if placed under powerful reef lights. They do best with low to moderate water flow, enough to keep the coral clean without blasting the delicate tissue. Stable water parameters are important, especially alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, nitrate, and phosphate. Leptoseris can also benefit from fine coral foods and dissolved nutrients in the water column.

Placement

Place Leptoseris on lower rockwork, shaded ledges, or areas with indirect light and gentle flow. They can encrust over nearby rock, so give them space to grow. Avoid placing them where sand can settle on the coral or where stronger corals may sting them.
