General info about Neon Green Leptoseris

In general, corals from the genus Leptoseris usually take the form of encrusting, foliose or plate type. Their colonies are laminar in nature which forms whorls, folds or tiers. Their corallites are arranged in an irregular pattern that usually runs parallel to the margins.

For the Neon Green Leptoseris, they are predominatly colored green with a neon undertone. This are the water parameters for cultivating Neon Green Leptoseris:

  • Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 -10
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4

Neon Green Leptoseris Diet & Nutrition

The Neon Green Leptoseris get its primary nourishment from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. But despite this, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding brine shrimp and mysis.

Fragging / Propagating Neon Green Leptoseris

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Neon Green Leptoseris. They need to be set at the bottom portion of the tank where lighting and flow rate are in moderation.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Neon Green Leptoseris

Neon Green Leptoseris requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

Neon Green Leptoseris Origin

Neon Green Leptoseris can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and usually thrive in vertical reef ledges and overhang wall that is free from strong current. They are now a vulnerable species and has been listed under Appendix II of the CITES list, which means that their international trade is monitored.

Caution Should be Taken with Neon Green Leptoseris

Neon Green Leptoseris is not aggressive an aggressive species. However, we still recommend you give them ample space with other corals. This is due to fact that they grow fast and may overshadow corals underneath it.

How to Acclimate Neon Green Leptoseris

Since Neon Green Leptoseris is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
