Hulk Leptoseris

Hulk Leptoseris is an encrusting SPS coral selected for its saturated green coloration and spreading growth. The retail name describes this aquarium strain and is not a verified species designation.

Care Guide

Leptoseris corals respond best to stable reef conditions, clean water, and randomized circulation that prevents debris from settling on the growing surface. Acclimate this coral gradually and judge final placement by coloration, tissue condition, polyp response, and new growth.

Feeding

Primarily photosynthetic. Optional amino acids or very fine suspended foods may support growth when used sparingly. Avoid heavy feeding that raises nutrients or coats the coral.

Placement and Acclimation

Begin below the intended final position and increase exposure gradually. Provide indirect, variable circulation rather than a constant jet, and secure the frag so its encrusting edge has room to expand.

What to Expect

Shipping and handling can temporarily reduce polyp extension. Give the coral stable conditions and time to settle before changing placement. Actual coloration depends on spectrum, intensity, nutrients, and acclimation.
