Mycedium umbra - Mother colony
|
This beautiful Mycedium umbra grows in a encrusting form. The body coloration
is a purple/grey tone with bright pink eyes. This particular colony was grown
by Susan Matney of the Salt Lake City, UT area. The original colony was obtained
by Susan in a local LFS and has been growing this coral out for six months.
This colony is the only known specimen of this unique coral. This Limited Edition
is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments
of this coral from a colony section we acquired from Susan during our March
road trip to the St. George area. This coral is a slow grower and with lower
lighting the colors have grown vivid. Frank Burr is propagating this coral in
a SPS propagation tower system at The Coral Oasis growout and distribution facility.
The coral is positioned at about 20 inches from a 175watt 14,000K Hamilton Metal
Halide. Water current is low to moderate. Starting in September 2005 The Coral
Oasis is allowed to distribute 1 farmed fragment of this coral per month. Price
is currently $75 per small sized fragment. The monthly limited edition reservation
schedule 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 September
21, 2005 to the highest bidder. Limited
Edition corals are obtained thru trades with hobbyists all over the U.S. Many
of the corals listed were found during Frank Burr's Coral Road Trips during
2006 and continuing in 2007. 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 propagation
facility is closed to the public and available by appointment only.
