Orange Eye Leptastrea Multiples Available

About this coral

Orange Eye Leptastrea Multiples Available is a selection of large polyp stony (LPS) corals from the genus Leptastrea (often sold under named color-eye variations). In the aquarium, Leptastrea are typically appreciated for their fleshy polyp appearance and the reef-building benefits of stony coral life. “Multiples available” makes this a practical option if you want more than one specimen to help you build a fuller LPS display on your rockwork, while still keeping a consistent coral type within the LPS category.

Features:

• LPS coral from the Leptastrea group, with prominent large polyps for visual impact
• Photosynthetic by way of symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae), supporting growth when kept under appropriate aquarium lighting
• Generally benefits from gentle, indirect circulation to help keep detritus from settling on the polyps
• A stony coral that relies on calcium carbonate for skeleton building, making it a good fit for established reef-style systems
• Great for building an LPS focal point on aquascaping—multiple pieces help create fuller coverage
