Leptastrea

Leptastrea is a robust LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral highly valued by both beginner and experienced reef aquarists. This magnificent colony features green-yellow polyps, densely clustered on a skeleton, creating a striking visual contrast under LED or UV lighting.

Under actinic light, its polyps glow with a chartreuse green that immediately catches the eye in any reef aquarium. Its encrusting and steady growth makes it an ideal coral for decorating rocks and the bottom of the tank.
