Perhaps
no single coral I’ve ever acquired has caused as
much of a stir as this one. And, as of this writing,
I’ve only had it less than a week! How rare
is it? Well, Steve Tyree is selling frags of it through
his site and has a waiting list to 2010! |
It
came through my LFS, who again called me to tell me
the piece came in. I pretty much bought it out
of the bag. One thing
that really surprised me is that it’s on an aquacultured
plug! This
should mean that more will soon be coming in. Right
now however, there is not a wealth of information about
their care and feeding but from what I’ve managed
to pick
up, this species seems to like moderate flow and bright light. Of
course, I had no place quite like that available but
this is one coral I actually spent half a day rearranging
the tank
to accommodate! I’d like to thank the reefkeeppers
who contacted me either through the boards or privately
regarding its well being. I shall keep everyone
apprised.
