The Pink Cadillac Acropora is a strain of SPS coral from Reef Raft Canada that we recently had the pleasure of seeing in person at a mature size. We’ve seen frags and pictures of this coral for many years now but we have to tell you this is one of the rare ‘limited edition’ corals that lives up to its photographs.
We don’t have to tell you that collecting coral strains is a huge part of the reef aquarium hobby these days. There are many coral strains that are truly deserving of the hype and attention that they receive.
但是,许多“限量版”珊瑚都是用稀薄的空气制成的,具有讨人喜欢的光条件和繁重的照片编辑。AllAcros看起来很棒,因为小碎片,大多数珊瑚是明亮的生长边缘和丰富多彩,快速生长的尖端。
但是,将特殊珊瑚与人为膨胀的碎片气泡区分开来的是它们在现实生活中的外观,在平衡的照明下,尤其是珊瑚是一个完全成长的殖民地。我经常告诉人们,想想者的真正独特珊瑚的标志是殖民地从房间对面的样子。
这个“跨室”因素描述了珊瑚,可以使您的头从六英尺远的地方转动,而粉红色的凯迪拉克·阿卡罗(Cadillac Acro)就是那些出色的珊瑚菌株之一。粉红色的凯迪拉克可能是Acropora divaricatawhich is genuinely attractive and beautiful either as a frag, or as a whole colony.
The overall appearance of Reef Raft’s Pink Cadillac Acro is pink over most of the branch, with a green base coloration lower down the branch. However it’s the blue polyps throughout the whole colony that really gives this coral the complete package.
As a frag the Pink Cadillac Acro is a pink branch with blue polyps and a green encrusting base. But as it grows out thisAcropora divaricatais a pink coral with green interior and loads of bright white axial tips erupting from all over the colony. So no matter if you’ve got a small frag of the Pink Cadillac, or you’ve grown it out into a coral the size of your hand, this is one coral that can be appreciated any size.
