Leptastrea Coral Care Tips

[@chemboy63]

These videos are great. I use them when purchasing unfamiliar corals. Keep them coming, they're MUCH appreciated.

[@bluerider0988]

Love this series. Every time I am interested in a coral I check here first for information.

[@Vendivar]

I appreciate the novelty up front as even a newer reefer!

[@falcolf]

I've decided to keep this species thanks to you ❤

[@tomgrude353]

Absolutely love this Channel👍

[@tidalgardens]

Much appreciated!

[@VikingsFan27]

I wish all of your videos were this Informative?this is exactly what I want from a tidal gardens spotlight video. 👍

[@PedroB93]

i just got a leptastrea because i watched this spotlight in december. thank you than, best regards from rio

[@captivebredcanada]

Always fun getting new species! My fav is "polkaroo" as someone who grew up watching Polka Dot Door in the 80s.

[@Bdoncford]

I love my leptastria. My fully green one actually color morphed to have purple tentacles when I fragged it. The john deere one is also amazingly vibrant yellow in person

[@don_chuwish]

Very helpful, I have one that is doing OK but now I know what to look for and adjust. Thanks!

[@tidalgardens]

Glad to help!

[@TheBobby416]

Thank You. Every one. That's nice.

[@tidalgardens]

Our pleasure!

[@bragilbe12]

Wow that's crazy, this video uploaded at pretty much the same time I received my first leptastrea in the mail lol

[@tidalgardens]

Oh nice!

[@kingfishers79]

Another great video Than....thankyou.

[@tidalgardens]

Thanks again!

I got an unknown leptastrea frag instead of the leptoseris I ordered...it mostly looks like an orange chunk of "fur"...it's tentacles are out so far and fluffy you can barely see the mouths during the day. It's not the prettiest thing, but there is some green tint the the tentacles and some purple surrounding the polyps when they are not extended. When I got it, it was just rolling around loose in a bag with no cup or anything...it looked like a chunk of poop, if I am honest. It looks much better now, has survived coral hell, and I actually enjoy it quite a bit. Mine likes direct light, though. It would take hours to puff up in the morning in the shadowy parts of my tank...got it in direct light and it has puffed and colored up ever since. You could see the polyps not opening on the half of the frag that didn't get any direct light so I just moved the whole thing there and it's been doing great ever since! I think you could probably run it over with a car, put it back in my tank, and it would quickly come back.

This is awesome! You guys rock and very blessed you are in my neighborhood

[@tidalgardens]

Thank you!

[@TheCluelessReefer]

I lost a Hells Fire Leptastrea to an invasive pom pom algae that hitchhiked on it from the breeder :( can't wait to get another one in the future!

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Good timing than!

[@rajgill7576]

What are those amazing orange and white spirals at 2:41? I like

[@rittersreef9983]

Love me some leptastria.

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Great video my polkaroo has done amazing for me

[@adamschaafsma5839]

Finally first lol!!! And great video makes me want to pick up at least on of these guys.

[@tidalgardens]

Go for it!

[@superjasonification]

Which came first the write up or video? Just read your guide then started watching videos and immediately noticed the same sentences

[@2869may]

As for lighting, you're website says something completely different.... " Moderate to high lighting is recommended. Leptastrea seem to do best under bright lighting" So which is correct....?

[@aquajunkiejannis2479]

I wish i could order you're corals , you always have so many beautiful corals and as i think the best prices on the market.But i live in Germany :(

[@robertfisher2844]

Some nice corals will look great once they start to grow

[@ecomarines2217]

Nice video!

[@tidalgardens]

Thanks!

[@deviljhodan9082]

I'm struggling with my Leptastrea and I'm not entirely sure why. I am a beginner reef keeper but I have a hammer that is absolutely thriving. Do you have any tips or things that might help?

[@TMAXXPUNISHER]

I have the burning ember. It eats like a savage. I actually have a time laps of it feeding on my youtube

[@TheBobby416]

Lets see. For reals. Oh

[@TMAXXPUNISHER]

[@TheBobby416]

@@TMAXXPUNISHER thank you

[@Cheezled]

Think it's possible to do a little leptastrea garden, kind of like how people do with Zoas? Or would they fight/grow over each other and make it impossible?

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Thanks than

[@stuartcoleman3782]

Platygyra. Hi do you have a video on the closed brain coral, my favourite 😊

[@bobbyfraser6792]

I just assumed Leptastrea was just a misspelling of Leptoseris. Even corrected a few people. This is like finding out that "viola" is actually different than "violin"

[@tidalgardens]

yup different!

[@EIY_Kumar]

Any tips on coral aggression?

[@michaelross5674]

I put a piece on a ceramic skull in my reef tank..... hopefully it covers the skull

[@2meniacal]

Mine came on a tiny boulder. More like your basic roundish stone you would find outside. Does the coral only encrust? Or does the coral that came on the frag grow bigger itself as well as encrust? I swear mine is bigger but it is not yet on the rocks that it is on

[@alicialibutan2924]

So cold bueatiful

[@tunefully1792]

Thanks to you I ID'd my frag from my LFS.

[@darkhelix7791]

Could you do an care requirement video on maze brain coral

[@johnbunion5169]

Whats the name of that little filter hermit?

[@etrigan1976]

What is that "spiral like" coral(?) next to the leptastrea at about 2:40 in the video?

[@tidalgardens]

That is a type of worm. I've heard them called christmas tree worms or bisma worms.

[@keagancribby4020]

Do you sell to canada? If not do you have a supplier that sells your livestock in canada? I would really like to source some of your coral im starting a propagation greenhouse and i need good livestock to start with.

[@keagancribby4020]

I should mention not for commercial purposes, for trading through my local club

[@tidalgardens]

Sorry I have no info about the Canadian market

[@619timbercali]

Sameness syndrome = blue/green for daaaays lol 😆 in my case.

[@alexahadi139]
