just wanna get a general idea on how many color morphs are out there... I'm thinking of adding a bright orange/green Leptastrea frag into the collection.. also, basic care (lighting/flow/etc...) or any other input would be appreciated...

Thanks...

Here are mine. I took two shots of each, hoping one might be better then the other. Decided to post them both, anyway:D. Seeing them blown up, I noticed splotches in the coloring in the centers with pinkish spots in the tentacles in several of them...

Green centered/lavender brownish skirt (thinking pruinosa)

Similar to the one above, but I think it might be a different species.

Purplish one that I've cut down to hide the dead skeleton. I need to just cut it off... It was in bad shape when I got it, but seems to have stabilized. It's been very shaded, so it may change colors.

And probably my favorites-PPE's;). Can't really see the centers, but they are purple. The mouths aren't green (right now-seems like they were at one time), so I guess it's more like a PHE;).

I'll try to get a closer shot of one of the mouths. The splotches are interesting (but faint from a distance).

Anybody else have any Leptastrea? Let's revive this thread. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten ay new ones except the Flames from Hell from Rommel.

Sorry for the horrible pic, but it's all an emerald green.

er1c-Really nice colors. Let me know if you ever frag:).

Mark-That's a nice sized colony. I've got one similar with a lavendar/brown skin and green eyes. Fun little corals that you don't see often enough.
