Australomussa Rowleyensis不是圣杯珊瑚,不是一个唱片,尽管它曾经只是一种异常好奇心Australomussa从Timor Indonesia is a whole new animal.
It’s amazing how this species has been out there all this time, occasionally popping up with moderate to decent coloration and all of a sudden someone found out there was anAustralomussaparty in Timor and they decided to harvest more beautiful and colorful specimens of this distinct species for all the world to enjoy.
在全世界,我们的意思是那些有足够的面团来负担这一浪潮的A. Rowleys的人,这些浪潮都将在Reds和Pinks的First Dibs的300美元TP $ 500定价社区中提供。如果您认为上面的标本很漂亮,那么您还没有看到任何东西
For years the true identity ofAustralomussa Rowleyensishas often been mistaken with colonies ofScolymia vitiensis.实际上,维隆警告我们S. vitiensisare more solitary at high latitudes but may develop multiple corallites at low latitudes near the euator which may resembleAustralomussa。
Normally it takes a very seasoned coral-slinging eyeball to tell apartAustralomussa从S. vitiensisbut there’s no mistaking these Timor corals for anything other than good card-carrying members of theAustralomussaspecies.

Either way, LiveAquaria will release theseAustralomussa在里面Diver’s Denwhen they are good and ready.
我们应该很快就会看到这些新的Chalicey,Lpsey Corals在全国各地的精细珊瑚供应商中弹出,因此现在您可以通过对这种珊瑚的了解使您的LFS惊奇,即使他们很少见到。非常感谢Blue Zoo Aquatics的Kris Wray首先引起了这些珊瑚的注意,许多Australomussa拼贴图片来自海王星水生, and our other reefing friends who helped us get the full lowdown on the interesting Australomussa rowleyensis.
