Orange leptastrea, The frag you see if the frag you will receive.
The Ultra Orange Leptastrea is an incredibly bright encrusting LPS coral, packed with intense fluorescent orange to golden polyps that create an almost glowing appearance under blue reef lighting. Contrasting darker green-grey tones through the centres add depth and definition to each individual corallite.
Its dense polyp structure and encrusting growth habit make it an excellent choice for adding a concentrated burst of colour to rockwork. As the colony matures, it will gradually spread across the surrounding surface to create an impressive carpet of fluorescent colour.
Recommended Tank Parameters
Temperature: 24–26°C
Salinity: 1.025–1.026 SG
Alkalinity: 7.5–9.0 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate: 2–15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm
Lighting: Low to moderate, approximately 50–150 PAR
Flow: Low to moderate
Placement: Lower to middle areas of the aquarium
Care Level: Easy–Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Growth Form: Encrusting
Allow room around the colony for future growth, as Leptastrea will gradually encrust onto surrounding rockwork. Avoid placing it directly against neighbouring corals where competition may occur as the colony expands.
