Limited Edition - Wine Red Zooanthid


Wine Red Zooanthid Double polyp February 2005

The amazing coloration in this zooanthid is spectacular! The body develops a rich burgandy wine coloration that has metallic highlights. The coloration extends to the skirt as well as seen in the picture of two polyps. This rich solid coloration has not been seen in other red zoos. The colony was originally obtained in 2002 at a local wholesaler. The polyps develop a deeper hugh with lower lighting. The first scheduled reservation fragment farmed at The Coral Oasis facility will be available thru the First Edition Auction through Tropical Reef Oasis (see details below). Frank Burr is maintaining the main colony in one of his 120 gallon soft coral propagation systems. In Frank's captive prop system, the coral is positoned to recieve moderate to weak light under a dual Power Compact flourescents (10k & Actinic) at a depth of 16 inches under the lighting. Limited Edition Reservation price is currently $60 per 2 polyp fragment. The bi-monthly limited edition reservation schedules can be found below.

Please note - This Limited Edition coral has been selected for First Edition Auctioning through Tropical Reef Oasis. The very first fragment of this coral produced and grown within the The Coral Oasis facility will be auctioned beginning on June 22, 2005 to the highest bidder. When these First Edition The Coral Oasis Auctions occur, about 50 % of the auction price will go to the farmer that delivered this coral to The Coral Oasis facility. We do this in gratitude to reef farmers who have chosen to sell their rare corals through The Coral Oasis distribution network. After this First Edition Auction the coral becomes a normal Limited Edition each month where The Coral Oasis earns each months reservation income by growing the captive fragment. The Coral Oasis facility is closed to the public and available by appointment only.
