Ultra Coral Australia scored another insaneLobophyllia pachysepta,and we couldn’t resist showing it off! What makes this piece so special is the very wide palette of colors in numerous shades of green, blue, yellow and gold blending together, so we can’t even tell what color it is…
It’s not the brightest, or of amazingly fluorescent colors neither, but this mix of colors has never been seen before, and makes this piece completely new, unique and awesome.
它是在麦凯地区的LPS首都,在一个非常浑浊的墨西河沿海礁石上,在不到10 m的水中收集。即使深度很浅,由于浑浊的水,这种珊瑚也不会得到太多光线,并且很大程度上依赖于进食。该区域还经历了强烈的潮流,因此流动非常高的流动带来了所有必要的营养。因此,进食可能是其主要能源的来源。
After cleaning, they kept this piece for a few weeks, just to make sure it was healthy and holding color easily. It adapted very well to blue LED lighting, is already feeding well, perfectly healthy and is ready for the second part of its journey.
Looks like a couple of wholesalers will get a piece in the US, such as Eye Catching Coral, WWC and Unique Coral. Don’t know yet if they will keep these pieces in, or will sell them. But it’s one of a kind piece of coral that should be previously kept, and hopefully propagated for others to enjoy. So whoever gets a piece of it, please feed it well, and share the love!
