Genus
Common name: Leptoseris Coral
Scientific name: Leptoseris
Leptoseris is a genus of stony corals often found in deeper reef slopes or in low-light environments. These corals are known for their thin, delicate plates and encrusting forms, which can exhibit a variety of colors from browns to bright greens and pinks. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their unique appearance and ability to thrive in lower light conditions compared to other SPS corals. Leptoseris species are relatively slow-growing and require stable water conditions, moderate water flow, and careful placement in the aquarium to avoid damage to their fragile structure.
