Jack-o-Lantern Leptoseris Live Aquaculture LPS Coral

$49.95 $59.95

Jack-o-Lantern Leptoseris – Ultra-Bright Orange with Neon Green Eyes | Aquacultured LPS Coral

Classification: Intermediate / Regular LPS Coral
Why it’s intermediate-friendly: The Jack-o-Lantern Leptoseris thrives under moderate light and stable parameters, but its sensitivity to intense lighting requires a bit of experience with coral placement and tank balance. Once established, it’s hardy, colorful, and long-lived.

Intermediate / Moderate Difficulty LPS Coral — not truly beginner-level.

Here’s why:

  • Leptoseris the Jack-o-Lantern, are relatively hardy but more light-sensitive than beginner corals (like Euphyllia or Favia).

  • They can bleach under high light or lose color if placed incorrectly.

  • They prefer lower light zones (75–150 PAR) and gentle flow, so placement and acclimation matter.

  • Once adjusted, they’re steady growers — but the initial adjustment period makes them better for aquarists with some reef experience.

The Jack-o-Lantern Leptoseris is one of the most striking and coveted LPS corals in the reef hobby, admired for its vivid orange base and glowing neon-green “eyes.” Under actinic or blue LED lighting, its surface emits an intense fluorescent sheen — a signature trait of photosynthetic pigments found in the Leptoseris genus, which help the coral thrive in deeper, lower-light reef zones.

Known for its resilience and adaptability, this coral encrusts rockwork and aquarium surfaces with a thin, glowing mat that enhances visual depth in any reef setup. It’s particularly valued for its ability to retain rich color even in moderate lighting conditions — a testament to its strong photosynthetic efficiency.

Each specimen is 100% aquacultured and grown at the coralSLover® Aquaculture Facility in the USA, ensuring sustainability, consistent quality, and zero wild collection.

Frag Size: ~1.5”+ — Fully healed and well-established, ready for a smooth transition into your aquarium.

Feed with fine particle foods or coral-specific nutrition occasionally to promote faster encrusting growth. Maintain stable alkalinity and calcium levels for best color retention.

Availability: Colony sizes will be available soon as part of our expanding aquaculture program.
Free shipping when qualified.

Lighting: High and stable PAR levels are crucial for SPS health and vibrant coloration. These corals thrive best under strong, consistent lighting provided by high-quality LED, T5, or hybrid fixtures. Proper acclimation to light intensity helps prevent bleaching and promotes steady growth.

Flow: Strong, turbulent water movement is essential to keep delicate tissues clean, deliver nutrients, and encourage healthy polyp extension. A random, alternating flow pattern works best to mimic natural reef conditions.

Placement: Position SPS frags or colonies on mid to upper rockwork to maximize both light and flow exposure. Secure mounting is important, as SPS corals often encrust rapidly before branching outward. Strategic placement also allows room for future growth without shading neighboring corals.

Water Quality: Pristine and stable water parameters are non-negotiable. Maintain balanced alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels, with low but detectable nutrients to sustain healthy growth and coloration. Even small parameter fluctuations can affect SPS polyp extension or lead to color loss, so consistent monitoring and dosing are key.

Feeding: While SPS corals derive most of their energy from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, they also benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of fine particulate coral foods to enhance growth, coloration, and overall vitality.

Difficulty: Best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists. SPS corals thrive in well-established reef systems where conditions remain stable over time and regular testing is part of the routine.

Sustainability: All SPS corals offered by coralSLover are fully aquacultured with zero wild collection, making them eco-conscious, tank-hardy, and better adapted to aquarium life.

Disclaimer:
Corals on the pictures are not WYSIWYG, photos was made under different lighting (blue or white lights) and in different tank (our show of frag tanks). You will get coral size as described, shape and color could be slightly off due to shipping stress.
After shipping stress soft corals (Mushrooms, Cloves, all types of  Leathers) always will  look shrink and colorless, won't look as on photos. For them to recover and adjust to new environments they will need 3-7 days in low lights and flow. Specially for mushroom we recommend to keep they under 100PAR and less.
