For our previous installment ofFluorescent Fridaywe focused in on WWC’s famous‘Grafted’ orange and greenMontipora Capricornis但是今天,我们使用荧光过滤器查看了其他一些Bangin的珊瑚。世界范围的珊瑚是炎热和高色水族馆珊瑚中无可争议的全球领导者之一。但是,对于已经在网络和社交网络上流传的珊瑚的许多蓝色照片,奇怪的是,我们从未见过像这样的珊瑚Full Fluorescent Mode.
奥兰多Reefapalooza Orlando对我们和所有与会者都是如此有趣且富有成效的表演,但是到目前为止,前往Rap-O的最佳部分之一是参观现在著名的目的地零售零售。我们每年大约一次在佛罗里达州奥兰多的这条橙花小径上,这与我们上次访问的珊瑚更加惊讶。
这次旅行也不例外nd WWC really brought the heat, with some of the最恶心reef aquarium corals you’ll see anywhere. We’re not talking simply about all the crazy, small frags of limited edition corals that they are well known for. WWC’s new coral farm is loaded with just abouteverykind of coral you can think of; in addition to seeing such phenomenal hit corals as theLooney TunesStylocoeniella,Casper the White Tang, and all manner of彩虹珊瑚,Worldwideeven makes their common corals look amazing.
除了视网膜燃烧的圣战,ACROS和各种LP,我们在荧光滤波器下观察到的最酷的珊瑚之一是最近描述的Micromussa pacifica. This is such a neat coral that has long been misidentified as ‘Acan Maxima’ but now that it has a formal description we can truly begin to appreciate it for the unique coral that is is.
Even though we were perched over the sprawling coral tanks with our heavy fluorescent coral imaging rig for over an hour, it simply wasn’t nearly enough time to put a dent into documenting the most fluorescent of World Wide Corals’ ark of diverse soft and stony corals. We’ll try to plan for more time to document WWC’s vast coral collections next time we’re in Orlando but in the meantime, let us know which of these fluorescent corals is your favorite in the comments below.
