Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Leptoseris solida are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Leptoseris solida, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Leptoseris solida, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Characters: Colonies are encrusting and do not have a conspicuous central corallite. The surface may be folded and sometimes forms tubes. Corallites are inclined towards the colony margins and are distributed irregularly. Corallites have small openings. Septo-costae are granulated and alternate. Those of adjacent corallites commonly join to form angular lines. Corallite-like mounds commonly occur between corallites.

Colour: Brown with white margins.

Habitat: Reef slopes.

Abundance: Uncommon.
