Flowerpot corals of theGonioporagenus is not usually a coral to get really excited about, but a new type/strain just landed atUnique Coralswhich is making us want to set up a field of them. The new corals are a branching species ofGoniopora这是我们在分支花盆珊瑚中见过的最精致,有毒的黄绿色组织。
Branching flowerpot corals are much more frequently encountered in the genusAlveopora, we’ve shared about some neatred branching flowerpotbefore, but these new toxic green branchy Goni are really something to behold. The colonies of branching flowerpot corals are a little on the small side, but you can clearly see from their bases that they were partially buried in some form of sediment leading us to believe that these new branching gonies will certainly appreciate higher nutrient conditions and some specific feeding regime.
The corals were collected byCairns Marine在澳大利亚nd we sure do hope they have access to more because they are sure to become a sensation in the aquarium hobby, especially if they are amenable to captive propagation. The corals just arrived yesterday so we’ll have to see how they settle in over the next week or two but do be on the lookout for them, because they will knock your socks off when you see them.
