Leptoseris Jack O Lantern – spreading Leptoseris stony coral with thin tissue.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 097. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Light: low to moderate; initially choose a protected site and increase new lighting gradually. Flow: gentle to moderate, with enough movement to carry away deposits.
On a stable surface in the lower or sheltered reef; allow room for spreading growth.
Supported by light; supplement sparingly with suitable fine food and avoid complete nutrient depletion.
Avoid crushing thin tissue and growing edges. Use suitable flow to clear trapped debris rather than scrubbing the surface.
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
For a consistent testing routine, see our reef water testing guide.
