Pumpkin Spice Leptastrea, WYSIWYG Coral
The photo is of the WYSIWYG coral on a standard 3/4" Alternative Reef frag plug.
One of the best Leptastreas out in the hobby! Depending on the lighting level, the base can be a bright white or a soft purple-blue. Intensely bright orange polyps adorn the rest of the coral. But the best part of this Leptastrea is the metallic green tips on each of the polyps. You can see each of the tips shine when viewed closely. When happy, the polyps are very fuzzy and cover the entire body of this coral!
Originator
Reef Raft USA
Care Level
Best tried after you've had success with a few other easier corals first and have an understanding of basic reef chemistry such as keeping salinity, alkalinity, calicium, and magnesium levels consistent. The coral itself is very easy to care for if you test for your parameters often and have created a consistent maintanence routine for your reef!
