Colonies spread in vivid 'starburst' patterns of green, orange and pink, and few corals in the hobby are as forgiving of beginner mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAA03 encrusts as a flat mat dotted with small corallites and fine polyps. Where the colony is thriving, the surface glows with bright, evenly spaced polyps in a starburst pattern set against a noticeably darker base tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Leptastrea colonises reef flats, slopes and shaded reef nooks throughout the Indo-Pacific. Its tolerance for a broad spread of light intensities and nutrient levels is exactly why it has such a reputation for hardiness. In the aquarium, aim for low-to-moderate lighting and gentle-to-moderate water movement — this coral is adaptable enough to sit almost anywhere in the aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerally a peaceful tankmate, though AA03 can extend short sweeper tentacles from time to time, so leave a modest gap between it and neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232727056675,"sku":"AA2128","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/leptastea-sp-aa03-leptastrea-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
