This Palythoa grandis specimen was obtained from Neal Yahata of Los Angeles,
California. Neal is an accomplished old school reef enthusiast who has over
the course of a decade, collected some amazing specimens of coral. This Caribbean
Palythoa is a splendid cinnamon coloration of the crown, single polyp diameter
can easily exceed 3"!! Definitely the giant of Palythoa species!! We are
very happy to offer this wonderful coral as a The Coral Oasis Limited Edition!!
This Zoo Limited Edition is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing
and growing fragments of this coral obtained from Neal's original colony. The
fragment colony has been unfragged and kept in a soft coral propagation system
at The Coral Oasis farm facility since obtaining it over 2 years ago. Growth
has been steady and coloration has maintained exactly as we obtained it. We
are propagating this coral in a Zoanthid/Palythoa propagation system at The
Coral Oasis grow out and distribution facility. The coral is positioned at about
14 inches from 2 Power Compact 65w 10k and 03 Actinic bulbs. Water current is
moderate. Starting in February 2007 The Coral Oasis will distribute 1 farmed
fragment of this spectacular coral per month. Price is currently $35 per polyp
and a fragment consists of 1 polyps. The monthly limited edition reservation
schedule can be found below.
