Like many of you we haven’t been able to browse corals for sale at our local fish store or at reef conferences like we used to, for quite some time. To fill in the gap we’ve taken to ‘browser shopping’ from many different vendors in this country and abroad, both at the retail, wholesale and export level just to see what is available in the current coral supply, and to discover what is being shipped and grown around the world.
The SPS lovers among you and especially theAcroporastick heads will no doubt have become numb to the deluge of so-called rainbowAcropora tenuiscolonies on offer, each one trying to capitalize on the massive hype bubble surrounding strains like the Walt Disney & Homewrecker. We’ve got a lot to say aboutAcropora tenuisbut among the offerings are a smattering ofAcropora millepora,我们认为我们有足够的品种,直到we came across this absolutely gorgeous colony fromWhite Coralsin Germany.
Acropora millepora: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About This Coral
对于黄色非绿色SPS珊瑚,尤其是Acros,我们情有独钟,因此看到这种奇妙的Bluetip品种的黄色Milli立即将其拍摄到我们石质的珊瑚愿望清单的顶部。We have no doubt that this coral was photographed under flattering lighting conditions, and WhiteCorals explicitly watermarked this image as being shot under blue light with an orange filter, but we don’t spy the kind of oversaturation and color imbalance that results from the improper use of this lighting & photography technique.
这个印尼人耕种Acroporacoral is surely not the only one of its kind so we can hold out some hope of coming across this strain in our neck of the woods, even if it looks worlds apart from this nearly flawless example. We’ll certainly be on the lookout for some version of this blue-tipped yellowAcropora millepora但是,如果您知道殖民地在哪里可以使用,请确保并告诉我们!
