Purple Rain Monti- Mother colony
|
This Montipora sp. was obtained from a local L.A. importer. The body coloration
of this incredible coral is a deep purple with blood red polyps. When I first
spotted it at the importer I thought it was plastic! it just looked too nice!
The pictured colony you see is after about 6 months growth our SPS propagation
system. Very nice plating growth structure. Simply incredible!! This Limited
Edition is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments
of this coral from a starter colony piece which we acquired in late 2005. 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 14
inches from a 250watt 20,000K Radium Metal Halide. Water current is slow to
moderate. Starting in May 2006 The Coral Oasis is allowed to distribute 1 farmed
fragment of this spectacular coral per month. Price is currently $90 per small
sized fragment. The monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found
below.
