多年以来,我们一直对Acropora tenuis看起来像是一个令人信服的模仿者,有着瘦小的分支。这是我们偶尔在印尼群岛周围许多不同地方偶尔遇到的珊瑚Acropora tenuis。
SinceA. tenuishas been the Number 1 cultured Acropora in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years now, it’s nice to be able to add a bit of diversity in this very large and commercially important group of coral.
But after finding another colony recently, taking many pictures, going through all the Acropora species that were revised from the hard copy version Corals of the World, we found out, quite many species were actually changed. Conveniently, one species seemed completely revised,Acropora纹状体,,,,现在,这似乎是我们长期以来一直称为“骨瘦如柴Tenuis”的珊瑚的完美匹配。插图Acropora纹状体现在,硬封面书籍和完全大修的在线版本之间完全不同。
描述:
殖民地Acropora纹状体consist of dense thickets, that can also form thin branches in very calm, protected waters. Axial corallites are small. Radial corallites are irregular in size and shape; exsert corallites have prominent lower lips. This flaring lip is a characteristic shared withA. tenuis。径向珊瑚岩也以半杆式排列,类似于A. tenuis,但密度要低得多。基本上,主要区别是菌落形状和分支的厚度。
栖息地:
Acropora纹状体更喜欢半保护的礁石坡度,从8 m(25 ft)到25 m(75 ft)。通常在浑浊的环境中,食物非常丰富。如果不时有一些电流,Acropora纹状体采用缓冲形状,带有较短的分支,非常相似A. tenuis。如果水受到非常保护,它将以非常薄的分支形式让人联想到Acropora echinata。
着色:
主要颜色是奶油或绿色,有或没有蓝色的尖端。
维护:
Acropora纹状体是一种非常耐寒的杂质物种,可能是Acropora的初学者珊瑚礁的好起动物种。它不需要大量的光或流动,并且会适应各种条件。唯一的要求是良好的水质。
