Homophylliamight have taken overas the name forScolymia但这并不意味着我们失去了any love for the ‘Australis’ doughnut coral. Hundreds of these corals are exported from Australia every week, and by and large, every single one of them is a really beautifulScleractinian.
Only a fraction of these are worthy enough of being the best of the best, whether it’s a bleeding apple, warpaint or UFOHomophyllia. The two corallites in focus today fromWorld Wide Coralsare even more exceptional than your typical master or UFOHomophyllia.
The color and pattern ofHomophyllia australisis so random, who knows what determines the color and appearance of these corals for them to become so striking and colorful. But there’s no doubt that the tigerHomophylliaabove, and the UFO-Master-SpirographHomophylliabelow are about as good as it can possibly get.
One of them has incredibly bold stripes, a deep mauve purple on a lime green base with a few red streaks for accent. And the other exhibits virtually every color, ring, stripe and streak that can possibly occur in a Homophyllia – the combination of a black ring, white splotches and interspersed red spokes gives our eyes an incredible bullseye to look at.
What we particularly love aboutHomophylliaslike these is that you don’t need a macro photograph to appreciate them, and they don’t have to be under juiced-up blue lighting for the fluorescence to shine through. Whether you have a 1000 gallon tank with the most flattering light color, or a simple nano tank with a basic broad spectrum light, these are two of the nicestHomophylliasthat we are likely to enjoy this year.
