Overview
The Blood Orange Leptoseris is a low-maintenance encrusting coral that adds color to lower-light areas of the reef. Known for its ability to thrive in shaded or less intensely lit parts of the tank, it’s a great option for filling in bare rock surfaces where other corals might struggle.
This coral does best in stable conditions with moderate flow and low to medium lighting. Its encrusting growth pattern means it can spread across uneven surfaces, making it a good candidate for aquascapes that need texture or coverage in tough-to-reach areas.
