Neon Leptoseris

About this coral

Neon Leptoseris is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral featuring the distinctive, fleshy polyps and a stony skeleton typical of the Leptoseris group. In a reef aquarium, it’s mainly valued for its polyp texture and the way it grows while housing symbiotic algae. Place it where it can receive appropriate light for photosynthesis and maintain steady water quality for long-term health. Since “Neon Leptoseris” is a shop name, treat any named variety as a visual selection; care guidance is provided at the Leptoseris (LPS) group level.

Features:

• LPS coral with large, fleshy polyps and a calcium-carbonate skeleton
• Generally relies on light for photosynthesis, alongside occasional feeding
• Best kept in reef aquariums with stable, saltwater parameters
• Typically prefers gentle to moderate water movement to avoid polyp stress
• Works well on rockwork where it can extend and gain steady light
• A practical choice for aquarists seeking hardy, display-focused LPS growth and texture

Specifications:

• Care level (group guidance): Moderate (LPS)
• Light (group guidance): Moderate light
• Water flow (group guidance): Gentle to moderate, avoiding strong direct blast
• Placement (group guidance): On stable rock in a spot that matches moderate light (not low-light shade, not high-intensity glare)
• Diet (group guidance): Primarily photosynthetic; benefits from occasional feedings of small particulate meaty foods
• Temperature: About 24–26°C (75–79°F)
• Salinity: About 1.024–1.026 SG
• pH: About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: About 2.8–4.0 meq/L
• Calcium: About 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: About 1250–1350 ppm
