Leptastrea spp. (Ultra) (frag)

Leptastrea spp. are hardy encrusting corals known for their small, tightly packed polyps and vibrant coloration. Colonies typically form low-growing mats over rockwork, displaying colors such as green, orange, red, blue, and yellow, often with contrasting mouths. Their textured appearance and strong fluorescence under actinic lighting make them a popular addition to mixed reef aquariums. Leptastrea corals are durable, adaptable, and suitable for both beginner and experienced reefkeepers.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Flow: Moderate, indirect
• Placement: Lower to mid rockwork; allow room for encrusting growth
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional fine particulate or powdered coral foods
