Grafted Corals, or ‘GFP Infections’ are among some of the most interesting and bizarre coral ‘strains’ available to us in the aquarium hobby. The phenomenon has been documented in a wide variety of corals, most often in small polyp stony corals likeAcropora,Stylocoeniella,Astreopora，最著名的是蒙蒂波拉。
TheWorld Wide Corals Grafted Capis perhaps the best known example of GFP infection in aquarium corals but a new strain called the帽子帽is even more ostentatious than the WWC Grafted Cap. Despite sporting the same uneven blend of red and green pigment, what makes the Sunfire Cap so much more attractive is how brightly its polyps display the base coloration – polyps on red tissue are bright orange while polyps on green tissue are bright green.
While the original WWC Grafted Cap can exhibit some degree of color mixing in the polyps, since the Sunfire Cap has brighter polyps the effect is much more pronounced in this strain. We’ve seen the Sunfire Cap around for the last few years but this past weekend while taking a tour of ‘The Farm’ at World Wide Corals we got to see these two strains side by side, grown under identical conditions.
当您并排看到WWC嫁接和Sunfire帽之间的差异非常明显。Sunfire Cap可能具有较大的息肉，但WWC嫁接的盖具有更明亮，更高的对比度的底色。IE。Sunfire看起来更好，但是WWC嫁接具有良好的记录，即发展为令人惊叹的滚动caprikornis殖民地。我们真正地生活在重新保存的黄金时代，并获得了如此众多的珊瑚菌株，现在收藏家还有一个可以添加到他们的愿望清单中。
