Moderate light and water flow and salinity 1.025, CA 409-450, mag 1309-1400 and alk 8-11Hello everyone,
I picked up a little frag today that I’ve been eyeing. It’s a leptospirosis correct? As far as placement, moderate to low flow , indirect/ partially shaded area bottom third of my tank? This is a photo off the internet but is identical to the one I just purchased. Thank you

Lol, no that is a disease, this is a leptoseris. Lithophyllons look very similar as wellIt’s a leptospirosis correct?
Is this a different species of leptoseris than most of the ones in the hobby? I've never seen one that has the separate polyps like that, only ones that all flow together, like these: https://www.tidalgardens.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Leptoseris

I think it was a Leptastrea.Is this a different species of leptoseris than most of the ones in the hobby? I've never seen one that has the separate polyps like that, only ones that all flow together, like these: https://www.tidalgardens.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Leptoseris
Leptoseris do not have flat coenosteums and have their corallites placed farther apart.Mybluepavona doesnt have that pattern. It does look like a lepto to me. Mine is low light med flow. I have a golden. Slowwwww grower!
I remember there was a study done on the indo-pacific argariciids (Gardineroseris, Leptoseris, Pavona) and they found out that the 3 genera were actually polyphyletic and that they should all be placed into one genus. Not sure when the taxonomy for those genera are going to change, though.So I will just throw this out there: Lepto and Pavona are different corals but are often mislabeled.
Yeah, that was Reef Builders I think.I remember there was a study done on the indo-pacific argariciids (Gardineroseris, Leptoseris, Pavona) and they found out that the 3 genera were actually polyphyletic and that they should all be placed into one genus.
