This Palythoa sp. specimen was obtained as a wild colony from a L.A. area retailer
in late 2007. A surprising find and a stunning blend of colors. The center eye
of this palythoa is a purpleish color followed by a wide band of metallic red,
next a rinf of burnished silver inside the skirt which is a golden coloration.
Truly a striking Palythoa. Definitely one of the most stunning we've come across.
We are excited to offer this wonderful coral as a The Coral Oasis Limited Edition!!
This Zoo Limited Edition is being propagated by The Coral Oasis who is distributing
and growing fragments of this coral. The colony has been kept in a soft coral
propagation system at The Coral Oasis farm facility since obtaining it and clearing
Quarantine. Growth has been steady and coloration has intensified even more
than when we obtained it. We are propagating this coral in a Zoanthid propagation
system at The Coral Oasis grow out and distribution facility. The coral is positioned
