We still remember where we were when we first received images of a ‘red’ elegance coral and we instantly dismissed the authenticity of the photographs. It wouldn’t take more than a few months until we saw a red elegance coral for ourselves and verified that the red分类jardinei确实是心爱的妇产华民主山脉的真正合法颜色。
在第一次遇到巴厘岛水族馆共享某些图像之后不久bonafide red elegance coralsand while these colonies certainly had some true red coloration, it’s not the kind of glowing red pigmentation that we come to expect from other LPS such asBlastomussaorLobophyllia，更多的是一种微妙而肉质的红色。这种红色的颜色的表达方式分类红色通常出现在嘴巴或整个口腔盘上，直到触角上也很可变，有时会出现粉红色的粉彩红色。
然而，最近的一个红色优雅珊瑚殖民地实际上是在扩大我们关于如何红色的概念分类coral can be with this specimen being nearly solid red all over including all the tentacles. The original image is posted above and we edited this photo posted below to仅增加阴影为了更好地查看这种红色优雅珊瑚的活组织中发生了什么。
这种红色的优雅珊瑚是由凯恩斯海军陆战队在澳大利亚，它几乎是纯红色的，除了一些深色的黑色颜色外，也经常在其他稀有的红色优雅珊瑚殖民地中出现。这re are plenty of elegance corals with ‘rich brown’ colored tentacles which can often appear red or pink in photos with questionable settings but from what we can see in the original photo and Cairns Marine’s propensity for honest coral photography we don’t believe this red elegance is being misrepresented at all.
凯恩斯海洋红色优雅珊瑚的唯一装饰是一个很小的蓝色触手尖和一些虚构的绿色条纹，几乎在红色触手的花束中丢失了。这红色的of red elegance corals is not even close to the vividness of a red carpet anemone or a red monti cap, it’s more of a subtle coloration that will become all but lost in deep blue light so to best enjoy a piece like this you’ll certainly want to offer it a balanced daylight spectrum.
Thankfully the hobby has better understood how to grow and even propagate elegance corals so we sincerely hope that this red elegance colony will land in the hands of a talented coral farmer in the hopes that it will be grown to a size when it can be large enough to frag because a solid red elegance coral is a coral we would love to add to our collection.
