自熟悉的澳大利亚“ Scolymia”和Bowerbankis被删除以来已经快一年了Acanthastrea和放入自己的新属Homophyllia.Unsurprisingly, most reefers still call them ‘Acans’ by convention, but there is a lot that we can learn by grouping任何正确的珊瑚。
The best case in point is probably the distinction betweenFungia和Cycloserisdisc corals – while both flat and disc shaped, Fungias and Cyclos come from very different habitats. Fungias are more commonly seen in shallow to midwater, in higher energy environments right alongside many SPS corals. Cyclos on the other hand are generally found in deeper, siltier and calmer environments.
随着真菌的能力,我们能够在礁石水族馆中给予他们适当的护理的能力,使所有圆盘珊瑚结合起来。我们不会将Ganselfish和Butterflyfish聚在新万博苹果一起,我们也不应该为珊瑚做。
Which brings me to back to my original point – Australian Scolies and Bowerbanki arenotAcans, and the sooner we make a conscious effort to see them as distinct from trueAcanthastrea, and treat them as such, the sooner we’ll come to understand the nuances in their captive care.
较小的息肉“ Hillae”珊瑚不再是独特的物种,因此所有这些殖民地Homophylliacorals are now commonly called simply ‘Bankies’. Australian Scolies are always an eye catcher at the LFS, reef shows, and home aquariums, but recently we’ve really seen an uptick in thediversity and quality of同叶bowerbankicorals offered to the aquarium hobby.
我们终于开始看到Bankies与Master,UFO,Warpaint和其他通常用于Scolies的颜色以及其他一些伟大而有趣的颜色一起出现。似乎澳大利亚珊瑚收集者在寻找和收集更高质量的珊瑚方面同样具有侵略性,现在我们可以认识到这两种物种的独特性Homophyllia,希望我们也能取得更大的成功和传播。
