Famous for its blazing neon orange body and electric green eyes, the Jack-O-Lantern Leptoseris is one of the most vibrant encrusting SPS corals available. Its stunning high-contrast coloration pops dramatically under both daylights and heavy actinians, making it a fast-growing favorite for covering rockwork or bare-bottom reef tanks.
High-Contrast Color: Deep fluorescent orange tissue punctuated by bright neon green coral eyes.
Fast Encruster: Excellent candidate for spreading across lower rock arches, caves, or bare-bottom glass.
Hardy SPS: Very resilient and tolerant of lower lighting compared to most small polyp stony corals.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Lighting: Low to Medium (50–120 PAR)
Water Flow: Low to Medium, gentle indirect flow to keep the tissue clean
Placement: Bottom to middle section of the tank (handles shaded lower-light areas well)
Temperament: Peaceful to Semi-aggressive (keep a few inches clear of aggressive stingers)
Water Parameters: dKH 8–11, Ca 400–450 ppm, Mg 1300–1450 ppm, Temp 76°–78°F
