Volcano Echino - TCO Mother colony
|
This Echinophyllia sp. colony was obtained from a local reefer (Tracy Grey)
who has had excellent success with finding and propagating very unusual and
distinct corals. The body coloration varies from a burnt orange to dark red
with hints of green in the valleys bright pink/red lava eyes! Neon pink highlights
make this amazing coral look like something spewed forth from a volcanic eruption!
This coral has a thick plating growth. This Limited Edition is being grown by
The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments of this coral from
a starter colony we acquired from Tracy in June of 2005. Frank Burr is propagating
this coral in a SPS propagation tower system at The Coral Oasis growout and
distribution facility. The coral is positioned at about 14 inches from a 175watt
14,000K Hamilton Metal Halide. Water current is slow to moderate. Starting in
November 2005 The Coral Oasis is allowed to distribute 1 farmed fragment of
this wonderful coral per month. Price is currently $60 per small sized fragment.
The monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found below.
