Genus is named 'Leptoseris'. Leptospirosis is a blood infection caused by the bacteria Leptospira.

There are many different 'Lepto' species and varieties, so the look can vary quite a bit.

Yeah they all look like Leptoseris. Do make sure there is some clearance between the Leptoseris and other corals as these guys send out sweepers.

Well leptos generally like low light but psammocora likes high light. So guess how it reacts to where you put it you will know for sure.

I got these three same exact frags back in october and been testing around with em. Brurned them in high light for a few weeks, then moved them to the sandbed and they enjoy it more. The jack o lantern got moved up to midtank as he didnt like the sandbed par.
