I've been keeping mine in the shaded areas of my LED tank as well
 
Glad I used search and found this. My lepto hasn’t grown in 4 months. I have it around 200 par under an MP40. It’s healhy just won’t grow. My Acros are throwing up some good growth all around it tho.
 
Mine is in a spot with about 40-60par max. And low flow. When I had it in 150-175 and medium-high flow it wasn’t looking great. I actually had a tiny piece break during transport that was about a 1/3 of the size of a pencil Eraser. Out of boredom I glued it to the back of an empty snail shell about a month ago. Today I see 2 mouths forming accidental success
 
Just ordered a very small frag of this amazing lepto. With it being so small I don't really have time to place it in the wrong spot. I have a 40g breeder with led lighting, only one powerhead so I can do a strong flow area or very low flow area no problem.

Also curious on what you found that helps with growth? Certain food, supplements, etc.

Any advice helps, thanks everyone!!
Mine was on the bottom of my nano using black box led at 80% blue 10% white. Had good color but did not start to grow off the frag plug until I moved it into my 120.
About 2" off the
bottom on a rock. Running 3b+ 3c+.
I dropped it on the floor when moving it about 3 weeks ago. It is now encrusting down off the plug and the broken piece is starting to grow/ encrust over.
Never fed it just the fish with stable parameters.
All my corals have really started to take off after dosing trace elements.
Just a cell pic on pro with flash.

What's on my

Jason Fox Jack-O-Lantern Leptoseris?​

I know on other corals, it looks like their feeding tentacles, but this is way too big, for this size coral's to be feeding tentacles
It’s only on the one spot and it’s a recent discovery (and I'm alway looking at the colony with a magnifying glass
Apologies, if I'm asking wrong spot
