RR Polkaroo Leptastrea
The RR Polkaroo Leptastrea is a vibrant encrusting LPS coral, prized for its unique spotted pattern and brilliant colour contrast. Featuring a rich base colour covered in neon green to yellow polyps with a “polka dot” effect, this coral makes an eye-catching addition to any reef tank. Its encrusting growth pattern allows it to cover rockwork beautifully, creating a colourful living carpet that stands out under both white and blue lighting.
Aquarium Care Requirements

- Placement: Lower to mid areas of the tank, on rockwork or frag plugs; will encrust surfaces over time
- Feeding: Photosynthetic, but benefits from supplemental feeding with small particulate foods like reef roids, mysis, or brine shrimp
- Aggression: Peaceful – does not sting, but allows room for encrusting growth
