This Zoanthis sp. colony were obtained from Steve Chen in Bakersfield, California
in 2005 as part of a coral trade. The colonies have been unfragged and kept
in a soft coral propagation system at The Coral Oasis farm facility since then.
Growth has been steady and coloration has intensified even more than when we
obtained it. The Bright Orange skirt and the blue/silver/pink multicoloring
is shocking. 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 2 colonies obtained from Steve. We
are propagating this coral in a Zoanthid 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 and 1 34w T-5 Actinic. Water
current is moderate. Starting in April 2006 The Coral Oasis will distribute
1 farmed fragment of this spectacular coral per month. Price is currently $25
per polyp and a fragment consists of 1~2 polyps. The monthly limited edition
reservation schedule can be found below.
