It’s been a little bit since we reported on aScolymia Australisnice enough to be post-worthy but after a long absence,脆弱的垃圾gets the honorable mention for their two-faced masterpiece scolymia. A “杰作”是最好的最好的,结合了“不明飞行物scolies”的功能,它们显示了黑色的戒指Warpaint and Bleeding Apple Scolies– basically a Masterpiece Scolie has it all and it is the zenith of solitary LPS collection.
遇到一个不错的颜色均衡的杰作Scoly并不难,大多数高端珊瑚经销商可以以巨额价格向客户提供一个半规范化的标本。这是Frag Junky的两面杰作Scoly脱颖而出的地方,本质上是暹罗双胞胎Scolymia Australis随着面临不同方向的整齐连接的珊瑚岩和息肉。
与所有惊人的标本一样unique and solitary LPS corals, there’s no practical way to propagate a coral like this, and each one is priced to reflect this fact. If a single masterpiece Scoly can fetch upwards of $700 to $1000 a piece, you can bank on the Two Face Masterpiece scolymia fetching upwards of double that, since it has two polyps to speak of.
At this rate of coral-quality advancements, it’s probably only a matter of time until we get our first look at the colonial MasterpieceAcanthastrea Bowerbanki, a species which has already shown up with patterns like a UFO Scoly, and bleeding apple/warpaint scolies, but a combination thereof still eludes the reef scene,for now.
