Cantharellus是您可能从未听说过的真菌珊瑚属,但实际上确实很普遍,并且在世界各地的礁石上都广泛。而我们为水族馆提供的大多数圆盘珊瑚Cycloseris和Fungiaare super easy to collect because they are free-living and unattached to the reef,Cantharellus非常不同的是,它通常是在包裹,而且确实如此牢固。
我们没有真正看到的另一个原因Cantharellusin aquariums is that most of them are really doo-doo brown, not really a desirable trait for the general aquarium hobby. We’ve seen many hundreds ofCantharellusout in the wild, and every now and then a loose one comes into the trade, mistaken for a regular disc coral, or attached to the side of another coral piece, and nearly all of them are pretty bland, maybe showing the barest hints of green.
However while passing throughWalt Smith Fiji从我们回来manbext客户端we went perusing their stock of Fijian corals, and we were elated to find not one but TWO specimens ofCantharellus那是荧光笔橙。有趣的是橙色Cycloserisare about as common as colorful corals get, yet these are the only two coloredCantharelluswe’ve ever seen, and that makes them actually very rare coral specimens indeed.
