Captive breeding / propagation

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

Smaller colonies of this species can closely resemble Leptogorgia cardinalis or Leptogorgia miniata
