I bought a few frags from a local guy about a week ago. Two of those are Leptastrea, one orange, one green. The orange one looks really happy and opened up by the day after introduction into my tank. The green one, however, has hardly opened at all. I also picked up a large frag of another variety at a local store on Tuesday that seems happy enough as well. Not fully extended but fluffed up.
It seems to be alive; I haven’t seen it shedding any tissue, and it’s had a few tentacles poking out a bit but it has been staying closed. I’m not sure it’s actually Leptastrea either, to be honest? Closed up it doesn’t look quite the same as the other colonies. I’ll attach a photo of the coral in question.
Does it look like it’s dying? And I’d love a potential ID if it doesn’t look like it’s a Leptastrea?
