Fill your box: up to 4 spots ship for one shipping charge. A frag, zoa, small WYSIWYG, cleanup-crew pack or small dry good takes 1 spot. A colony takes 2. A rare big colony takes all 4 and ships alone. Shipping is charged per box: $50 UPS Next Day Air in the lower 48, $30 for qualifying Florida livestock. The $20 Box & Handling Fee is also per box and covers the insulated box plus ice or heat packs. Spots 2 through 4 add no extra shipping. Orders with $299 or more in qualifying livestock ship the first box free; each extra box pays its shipping, and every box pays the fee.

Florida: $30 per box for UPS Next Day Air livestock shipping. Each box of qualifying Florida livestock ships UPS Next Day Air for $30, plus the $20 Box & Handling Fee. Florida orders that include dry goods use our standard $50 rate per box. Orders with $299 or more in qualifying livestock ship the first box free.

Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. We ship livestock within the continental U.S. only. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Description

Hulk Leptoseris is an encrusting SPS coral selected for its saturated green coloration and spreading growth. The retail name describes this aquarium strain and is not a verified species designation.

Care Guide

Leptoseris corals respond best to stable reef conditions, clean water, and randomized circulation that prevents debris from settling on the growing surface. Acclimate this coral gradually and judge final placement by coloration, tissue condition, polyp response, and new growth.

Lighting: Medium — PAR 100–200

Flow: Medium

Placement: Upper to middle rockwork on an encrusting base, with moderate to strong flow.

Water Parameters: Salinity 1.025–1.026 · Temperature 76–78°F · Alkalinity 8–9 dKH · Calcium 420–440 ppm · Magnesium 1300–1400 ppm

Feeding

Primarily photosynthetic. Optional amino acids or very fine suspended foods may support growth when used sparingly. Avoid heavy feeding that raises nutrients or coats the coral.

Placement and Acclimation

Begin below the intended final position and increase exposure gradually. Provide indirect, variable circulation rather than a constant jet, and secure the frag so its encrusting edge has room to expand.

What to Expect

Shipping and handling can temporarily reduce polyp extension. Give the coral stable conditions and time to settle before changing placement. Actual coloration depends on spectrum, intensity, nutrients, and acclimation.
