Flash Fire Monti- TCO Mother colony

This Montipora sp. was obtained in July of 2006 as a wild colony believed to
originate in Tonga. A exciting colored montipora sp., this coral has a base
coloration that varies from Cream to a greenish tinge at the leading edge of
growth. Polyps are a fire red/pink coloration. Growth rate has been moderate.
The pictured colony you see is 9 months after acquisition. A nice smooth encrusting
growth. This Limited Edition is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing
and growing fragments of this coral from the colony we acquired in the Bay Area
in 2006. Frank Burr is propagating this coral in a SPS/LPS propagation system
at The Coral Oasis grow out and distribution facility. The coral is currently
positioned at about 20 inches under a 400w 20,000K XM Metal Halide (8"
water depth). Water current is moderate to strong. Starting in May 2007, The
Coral Oasis is will distribute 1 farmed fragment of this spectacular coral monthly.
Price is currently $80 per small sized fragment. The Monthly limited edition
