Gold lepto

The golden Leptoseris is one of the more desirable members of the Leptoseris family.

It is an SPS coral (small polyp stony) with a dark gold base and bright gold mouths 

This coral has been growing in my tank since July 2017 and during this time its been grown under both T5's and LED's.

One thing to point out is they don't like being handled and can lose coloration for a few weeks when moved. Once settle though they can have a rapid growth rate

This coral needs appropriate lighting, with mine appearing to prefer shady areas and moderate flow to maintain optimum health.

In addition to this, it will also require the correct levels of Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium along with various other trace elements found in natural seawater.

Additional feeding isn't required to maintain its health however it will feed on micro-plankton and very fine coral foods. 

Care Level - Moderate

Flow - Medium 

Lighting - Medium (mine prefers shady areas)

Temperament - Short stinging polyps
