Care Requirements

Lighting and Water Flow

  • Lighting: Prefers low to moderate light (PAR 50-100).
  • Water Flow: Low to moderate indirect water flow is ideal for healthy growth.

Water Conditions

  • Temperature: 75-80°F
  • Salinity: 1.024 - 1.026
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4
  • Alkalinity: 8-9.5 dKH
  • Calcium: 400-450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm
  • Nitrates: 2-10 ppm
  • Phosphates: <0.10 ppm

Feeding

Leptoseris corals are photosynthetic but benefit from supplemental feedings. Recommended foods include:

  • Amino Acids
  • Powdered foods such as Benepets and Reef Roids
  • Phytoplankton and Zooplankton

Regular target feeding a couple of times a week can enhance growth.  It is recommended that you turn off water flow for 10-15 minutes during feeding for best results.

Growth and Placement

Leptoseris corals grow well once established and encrust over rocks. They should be placed in the lower sections of the aquarium to avoid intense light and allow for proper growth.
