Leptoseris spp. (Ultra) Frag is a cultured large polyp stony coral prized for its delicate plate-like growth and subtle colouration. As a frag, it offers an accessible way to introduce this genus into your marine aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, making it suitable for aquarists with some reef experience.
Lighting Requirements: Prefers moderate lighting conditions. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank with adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Leptoseris spp. can coexist peacefully but may extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain distance from sensitive species.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size vary within the genus; therefore, conservative husbandry practices are advised. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote optimal health.
