I plopped mine down at the bottom of the tank under a 7 bulb T5 fixture, also have two reefbrite strips. Flow is pretty strong throughout my tank so it's getting decent flow. Growth had been FAST.

has anybody experience a bit of bleaching acclimating from LFS to you tank?

Glad to see some have had great success with their JF JoL Leptos.

i have had my piece for a day and a half and have not seen the tentacles come out. Z-Man saw his feed on fish food. Don't the fish go after the food while the food is caught in the tentacles? Any worries about that?

I am starting mine at the bottom of my 90 g, 24" deep under LED, with med flow.

So sounds like it's not a too picky coral and prefers med-lower light? Kind of like a chalice?

Can't say I have seen tentacles, but the eyes do catch the food. I only have 5 fish and the lepto takes it in pretty quickly. I'll snap a shot tomorrow.

I've never seen mine eat anything. I get the best growth from mine 90% shaded

Yes it does have tentacles...

In my experience, I think it could live in med-lower light but with more light it seems to obtain that brighter, distinct coloration.

Ive had a nice size frag for about 6 months, which I got from Jason himself. I have the Radions and keep mine towards the bottom of the tank. My instructions were low light and low flow. It seems to color up beatifully, but not grow so fast. My understanding is that they can take a little higher lighting, but the color will be better under low lighting. After seeing Jason's colony and frag, I think these were good directions.

[Fatmike92]

Has anyone had success with this in an ULNS? I just got a piece from the CT frag farmers market...small amount of bleaching due to acclimation but fine overall so far.

 

[Dr.Me]

It happen to mine but they are very hardy...
