The Dazzling 24k Gold Leptoseris: A Radiant Addition to Your Reef

Experience the mesmerizing glow of the 24k Gold Leptoseris, a unique plating coral that brings vibrant color and texture to any established reef aquarium.

Overview

The 24k Gold Leptoseris (*Leptoseris* spp.) is a stunning Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral, celebrated for its brilliant gold and orange fluorescence that intensifies under blue or actinic lighting. Its unique, thin plating and encrusting growth pattern creates a beautiful, low-profile focal point, adding depth and visual interest to your aquascape. While classified as an SPS coral, it is more forgiving than many, making it an approachable choice for hobbyists seeking vibrant coloration and intricate texture.

Care Level

Moderate. While generally hardy and adaptable, the 24k Gold Leptoseris requires stable water parameters. It is peaceful but can slowly overgrow neighboring corals, so provide adequate space.

Tank Essentials

This coral thrives in a minimum tank size of 20 gallons (approx. 75 litres), but larger tanks offer greater stability. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1–8.4, Salinity 1.024–1.026, Temperature 74–80°F (23–27°C), Alkalinity 8–12 dKH, Calcium 400–450 ppm, and Magnesium 1250–1350 ppm. Provide low to moderate, indirect water flow.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the 24k Gold Leptoseris benefits from supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialized coral diets 1-2 times per week.
