General info about Hulk Lepto
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 Hulk Lepto, they are predominatly colored green. This are the water parameters for cultivating Hulk Lepto:
- 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
Hulk Lepto Diet & Nutrition
The Hulk Lepto 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 Hulk Lepto
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Hulk Lepto. They need to be set at the bottom portion of the tank where lighting and flow rate are in moderation.
