Hey,

I have this coral. My LFS sold it as a Leptoseris (I think it's spelled). I heard they're fast growing. As you can see in the picture it's already starting to grow on the button plastic ABS sheet I have. First couple weeks it's been nothing then all of a sudden it's starting to spread. Can I get different colors of these (I've only really seen this color) and have them grow near each other or will that bring problems? As you can see in the other picture, there's a derasa clam I'd say about 6 inches away. There's really nothing within 6 inches of it...well maybe a zoa rock. I just want to know if I can fill that space in another Lepto. I also provided a full tank shot. Thoughts are welcomed please

Yes it's a lepto. It's not a Jacko as it doesn't have the bright yellow eyes. It also doesn't Need to be given a name. It's just an orange Lepto.

Lepto are generally fine to grow next to each other. They prefer lower light and flow. Tidal gardens keeps theirs in 50 to 75 par.

I'm watching Tidal Gardens on it as we speak .
 
Thanks everyone! So since it's not aggressive, I'll go and get the pink one I saw on Tidal Gardens' site
