Acropora Nasuta一直是我最喜欢的Acros的浅水种类之一,既有其有趣的形状,又是最有吸引力的息肉,通常是明亮的蓝色。正常菌落A. nasutaare generally pale in coloration but a sensational colony recently collected by珊瑚s Down Underis about to put this species on the radar of every SPS collector.
There’s been an explosion of stunning Acro strain in the aquarium hobby lately, many of which have wild colors throughout every part of the colony. We’ll always have a place in our reef tanks for strains like the GARF Bonsai and Green Slimer but new corals like theHomewrecker,Pink Cadillac, Little Red Ferrari and many others have forever raised the bar for the color potential of aquarium corals.
这个特别Acropora nasutais purple to pink depending on the lighting, with a green edge to the very prominent nose-like corallites which give this coral its name. And of course the blue polyps are present in abundance, all the way to the interior of the colony.
珊瑚s Down Under collected just a single colony on the outskirts of Mackay Australia in an outer reef along with many other typical Australian stony corals. We sincerely hope that this colony of Nasuta Acro has a safe journey to its future home because this is one coral strain that truly deserves to be sought after and propagated in the reef aquarium hobby.
