Any other Lepto lovers?

Holy_makerel · Feb 22, 2017

Got my first one in trade, the bright green guy. i was fascinated by the complex maze like designs on the surface and was hooked. I currently have 4 different specimens and love them all. Anyone else have some love for these weird little guys?

Green-

Jack-o-lantern

Blue eye

Newest one a friend picked upfor me at a swap which i believe is a molten lava

Post your leptos!

Happy reefing

Got the blue eye off of eBay. someday i'll have a few frags of it available but its still fairly new and hasnt found its permanent home in the reef quite yet.

Love that one! looks like you have some other nice ones too

Does your blue eye have burgandy between the polyps and a green outer growth ring? I have what I think looks the same (not at home to take a picture for a while) that came as a hitchhiker on a black sun coral. The blue comes out with stronger lighting but it turns more burgandy with little eyes when it's in dim areas.

just got a WWC hulk lepto delivered a few days ago. Very nice piece and glows under the blue lights

Mine grows like crazy - I must have 20+ frags in my frag tank.

I like Leptos and planning to get one. What placement and flow does it prefer? Thanks!

ProjectAnemone · Feb 24, 2017

The ones above are only 8" below the surface and getting blasted with flow and light. However, I don't think they need that.

From the WWC website

CARE LEVEL Easy
LIGHTING Low
FLOW Medium

could be why mine have morphed to more of a minty green

Any suggestions on how to get them to grow rapidly?

I think they are fantastic, and where I have never kept one I am definitely in the market for one or two.

Once they get settled they seem to grow pretty well. i think they are pretty adaptable as far as placement

Do you have any of these blue leptos available? i'd love to have one

Liquid360 · Feb 28, 2017

They are mesmerizing pieces for sure! I just ordered one and I'm awaiting arrival as we speak from Cornbred.

I just fraged it over the weekend. The sides were very shaded and browned out and the main chunk was on an acrylic frag plug (never seen one before and I HATE them) which made it nearly impossible to get off the plug. As soon as they heal and color up I'll LYK.
