eChinopora asmorensisis a very interesting and unmistakeable coral that we just had the pleasure of finally seeing for ourselves for the first time in the wild. The species closely resembles the much more commonE. Lamellosa这有时也可以生长管，并且是我们水族馆中的快速种植者，但没有什么比完全管状的外观E. Ashmorensis。
这两个物种之间的分类分离没有切割和干燥，但不可否认的是，石质珊瑚几乎完全由管状分支组成，这与其他任何石质珊瑚不同，并且表现出非常戏剧性的表现。在较大的殖民地E. Ashmorensis您甚至几乎看不到珊瑚总体上增长的，扩散的边缘，但即使是较小的菌落也被“编程”以快速从很小的尺寸发展其管状生长形式。
肾小管生长echinoporaashmorensis最初只能是一个不错的空心圆柱体，但最终它们充满了坚实的骨骼生长，使管子比您可能相信的更强大，更强大 - 它们并不像它们看起来那么脆弱。贷款信誉echinoporaashmorensis是一种独特的增长形式E. Lamellosais that the ‘species’ is actually quite diverse in their colors at Duck Island where we saw so many different examples in shades of brown, grey, and some phenotypes with bright green mouths like the Stunner-style platingechinopora在水族馆中的野火像野火一样生长。
我们必须相信，我们在新喀里多尼亚发现的圆柱形分支的发展存在某种环境刺激，其中大多数最佳的管状生长只会在暴露于周期性浑浊水域的非常浅水中变得越来越普遍。殖民地echinopora适合模具的echinoporaashmorensisseem to be most common at higher latitudes but for now the mystery of tubular branch development still leaves us with a lot of questions on how they form so we could try to grow colonies like these in our reef tanks, if and when some colonies are ever harvested for our beloved hobby.
