Lighting Requirements

This coral thrives in low to medium light (75-250 PAR). Gradual acclimation to higher light levels is recommended to minimize stress. A PAR meter can help manage light intensity for optimal growth.

Ideal Tank Placement

The WWC Hulk Leptoseris should be placed where it has room to grow, ideally on rockwork or glass in bare bottom setups. It works well in shaded areas, making it an excellent “filler” coral.

Water Flow Requirements

Moderate water flow is best to prevent debris accumulation on the coral’s surface. Excessive flow can hinder the coral’s ability to open fully.

Aggressiveness and Compatibility

Provide adequate space for this coral to grow, as it can be semi-aggressive and may fight with neighboring corals. Its short sweeper tentacles can sting nearby corals.

Feeding and Nutrition

Primarily reliant on photosynthesis, the coral can benefit from Amino Acids like CoralAmino. Its small polyps limit its ability to consume larger particulate coral foods.

Growth Rate and Pattern

The WWC Hulk Leptoseris is a fast grower, with its growth pattern influenced by the surface it encrusts.

Acclimation Process

Proper acclimation is crucial for the health of the coral. Refer to the Coral Acclimation Guide for detailed steps.
