A variant of Leptoseris (Leptoseris mycetoseroides)
Representative Leptoserisphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
An intense bright golden-yellow Leptoseris, often with purple/contrasting eyes, that sparkles almost metallically like its namesake bullion. One of the classic and most prized gold Lepto morphs.
📜 Backstory
A widely traded gold morph carried by Tidal Gardens (who call it likely the rarest of their Leptos), Top Shelf Aquatics (as 24K Gold), Corals Unlimited and Eye Catching Coral. Origin debated as a wild gold colony that became a standard aquacultured cut across many vendors rather than tied to one person.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate, stable light (~75-125 PAR) maintains the gold (too much light can wash it pale); low-to-mid placement with gentle flow.
