几周前,我们与澳大利亚超级珊瑚礁进行了大堡礁进行探险。我们在礁石上度过了一个星期,多次遇到了一个迷人的珊瑚paraclavarinatriangularis。All of us ‘Coral Freak’ were mesmerized by the beauty of this coral and we collectively agreed that it was one of the highlight corals of the trip.
paraclavarinatriangularis,是南部大堡礁上的一个非常普遍的珊瑚,有一些粉红色的殖民地绝对华丽,完全值得在我们的水族馆中获得特殊的珊瑚。
描述:
paraclavarina曾经被认为是Hydnophora角珊瑚,但现在被认为是Merulina的同义词。这种珊瑚似乎与羟诺拉非常相似,有些甚至将其归类为梅鲁琳娜。基本上是一个纯粹的分支梅鲁琳娜和美丽的粉红色非常特征梅鲁琳娜也倾向于朝着这个方向通向这个方向。但是Veron似乎不同意这一评估,因此我们将独自留下来,因为它应该得到一个特殊的地方。
这方面的一个特殊性Paraclavarina triangularisis that as the name implies, the branches have a unique triangular cross sections. Which is quite unique in the coral world and make it easily recognizable from any other species. Brown fuzzy colonies ofP.三角形could be confused with someHydnophora, but doesn’t have any monticule (Hydnophore) along its branches.
像所有家族成员一样,它具有较短且浅层的特征性山谷,较厚的小柱和隔sa(除分支尖端附近)被融合到一个固体结构中。由于山谷,它可能与梅鲁琳娜但是后者有不规则的升级,而paraclavarinatriangularishas regular fused branches with triangular section.
It forms thick compact very distinguishable bushes, in shallow water. This bushes can be up to meter tall.
Habitat:
paraclavarinatriangularis更喜欢保护泻湖的浅水。它受到保护免受大膨胀的影响,但仍然获得了潮汐水流的票价份额。在这些环境中,水可能很浑浊,但是食物丰富。
水族馆维护:
This species has never been collected or shipped, so it’s difficult to know about its maintenance difficulty. Nevertheless, many of other family members are easily maintained and propagated, so we suspect that its maintenance is pretty easy. Medium light and flow, regular feeding is probably the basic components.
但是,除了其特殊的形状和维护简单性外,最独特的角色可能是其美丽的浅粉红色。我们发现的大多数殖民地都是奶油,浅黄色,但我们很幸运地发现了很多浅粉红色,这绝对是华丽的。一切paraclavarinatriangularis是独一无二的:它的形状是独特的,易于维护,并且具有非常漂亮的颜色,是完美的珊瑚水族馆组合!
在未来的收集旅行中,我们将带回这种珊瑚,并为您尝试。希望这个小的帖子能使原本被低估的珊瑚带来光线,并且会更频繁地找到通往最好的珊瑚店的方式。
