24k Leptoseris
The 24K Leptoseris, often called the 24K Gold Lepto, is a stunning SPS (small-polyp stony) coral, prized for its intense golden-yellow coloration that glows vibrantly under actinic blue lighting. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this encrusting coral grows in a smooth, plating pattern, making it an excellent choice for covering rockwork with a bright, eye-catching layer of color.

Care Guide: Tank Size: Suitable for nano (20+ gallons) and larger reef tanks, but thrives in 50+ gallons for stability.
