Zoo Limited Edition - The Desert Fox

Palythoa sp.


The Desert Fox - Palythoa

This Palythoa sp. colony was obtained from a local wholesaler in Los Angeles back in 2002. The colony has been unfragged and kept in a soft coral propagation system at The Coral Oasis farm facility since then. Recently we gave Rommel Lumauig of Ultimatefrags.com a section of the colony. Upon seeing it he became very excited and proceeded to take some very nice pictures which clearly show what the excitement was all about. I had never really noticed the beautiful coloration in the polyps of this Palythoa before he pointed it out, needless to say I was impressed myself!. The purple, green, blue and silver multicoloring is stunning. Rommel has made this a Limited on his web site as well and we are very happy to offer this wonderful coral for the first time!! This Zoo Limited Edition is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments of this coral from colony obtained by Frank Burr at a local wholesaler.We are propagating this coral in a Soft coral propagation system at The Coral Oasis grow out and distribution facility. The coral is positioned at about 12 inches from 2 Power Compact 65w 10k and 03 Actinic bulbs. Water current is moderate. Starting in March 2005 The Coral Oasis will distribute 1 farmed fragment of this spectacular coral per month. Price is currently $30 per polyp and a fragment consists of 2 polyps. The monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found below.
