The Dazzling 24k Leptoseris: A Golden Gem for Your Reef

Discover the radiant beauty of the 24k Leptoseris, a stunning SPS coral that brings a vibrant, golden glow to any reef aquarium. Its unique color and plating growth make it a true standout.

Overview

The 24k Leptoseris, often called the 24k Gold Lepto, is a captivating Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral celebrated for its intense golden-yellow coloration that intensifies under actinic lighting. Originating from the Indo-Pacific, this encrusting coral forms smooth, plating patterns, ideal for decorating rockwork with a bright, eye-catching layer. Despite being an SPS coral, it’s considered hardier than many Acropora species, making it a good introduction to SPS corals for reef keepers.

Care Level

Moderate. The 24k Leptoseris is relatively hardy but requires stable water parameters and careful placement. It’s best suited for aquarists with some reef-keeping experience who can provide consistent conditions. It does not have aggressive sweeper tentacles but needs space to grow without being outcompeted.

Tank Essentials

This coral thrives in tanks of 50 gallons or larger, with stable water parameters including a pH of 8.1-8.4, salinity of 1.024-1.026, and stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels. It prefers moderate to high indirect flow and low to moderate lighting (30-100 PAR), often found in shaded reef areas.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the 24k Leptoseris also benefits from supplemental feeding. Offer fine particulate foods like phytoplankton, amino acids, or powdered coral foods, especially in lower-nutrient systems, to enhance growth and coloration.
