Franken Lepto Frag 1

Care guide

Leptoseris

Leptoseris brings a thin encrusting or folded growth form to quieter parts of a reef. It is a manageable stony coral when given consistent conditions, low to moderate light, and indirect circulation. Start conservatively with lighting and keep sediment from gathering in folds. Allow room around the growing edge, and make changes gradually if the coral begins to pale or recede.

Care

Moderate

Light

Moderate Low to moderate light is a useful starting point; protect new additions from intense exposure.

Flow

Moderate Low to moderate indirect movement should clear sediment from folds without damaging tissue.

Sting / space

Give space Keep a clear gap from neighbors and allow for growth. Avoid direct tissue contact.

Placement

Lower to middle rockwork, A shaded position during light acclimation if needed, Space around the encrusting edge

Feeding

Photosynthetic; optional fine planktonic foods can be offered in small amounts.
