It’s been a while since we wrote about Australian corals but with all this down time, we finally can find the time to write about things that inspired us in our previous journeys.During our Ultra Coral Australia trips on the great barrier reef, we came across several colonies of a weird Acropora colonies with the appearance of a millie, half tenuis, or a very spiny millie, either way a very unusual coral that got our attention.
经过一番研究，我们得出的结论是Acroporaconvexa，，，，a species accepted by Veron, but not by WORMS (World Register of Marine Species), where it is lumped withA. Millepora。看到很少的殖民地后，A.凸显然与一个米莉（Millie）不同的是，米莉（Millie）的间距广泛，不拥挤，但仍然像米莉（Millie）一样排成一排。
注意均匀尺寸的径向珊瑚岩。尖锐的下嘴嘴唇的圆形圆形呈鳞片状的外观。
描述：
殖民地Acroporaconvexa是Corymbose枕头形垫子，带有细长的均匀分支。轴向珊瑚岩的形状是管状的。径向珊瑚岩的尺寸相同，均匀地均匀地到分支上。它们是“ labellate”或唇形的，其突出的圆形到张开的嘴唇张开，具有鳞片状的外观。
There are no doubt that this species lay down somewhere in the middle of theMillepora，，，，Tenuis，，，，塞拉戈，复杂的。但这两者都不是。
栖息地：
我们在大堡礁内的珊瑚礁泻湖中发现了这种物种，在10到20米（30至60英尺）中。因此，我们可以推断A.凸is adapted to protected turbid water, which is again pretty similar toA. tenuis，通常是那种栖息地带来了我们非常喜欢的所有疯狂珊瑚。
着色：
But the coloration of Acropora convexa is what strike us the most, with some combination of blue/pink, yellow with purple tentacles. Again this color palette reminds us a bit of aAcropora tenuis从这个意义上讲，这是一个非常受欢迎的礁石水族馆珊瑚的巨大潜力。
This particular piece ofA.凸上图所示，并由我们的好朋友Sho Nihei在日本进口，是鲜艳的紫色触角，再次非常接近Tenuiscoloration. We’re very curious to know what this piece will look like when it will have had some time to achieve its full potential.
维护：
The maintenance of the ‘convex’ Acro is pretty similar to anyAcropora tenuis：offer it as much blue light as you can give for coloration, and a bit of white daylight spectrum for more growth. Besides that providingAcroporaconvexa凭借中等至强的流动，将为庇护的近海珊瑚礁提供珊瑚的努力。我们希望来自澳大利亚Ulter Coral的NIC能够为我们提供更多非常特殊，独特和非常高的潜在珊瑚。
