Limited Edition - Sea Mist Monti

Montipora sp.
Sea Mist Monti- TCO Mother colony
This beautiful Montipora sp. was obtained from Steve Trieu at New Alameda Aquatics in Alameda, Ca., during Frank's road trip in August 2006. A very eye pleasing montipora that has a nice Sea Mist body and polyp coloration. The star shaped polyps tend to grow in a spiral pattern. Growth rate has been slow to moderate. The pictured colony you see is after 7 months after acquisition. A nice smooth plating/encrusting growth. A beautiful coral which does well under most lighting intensities. This Limited Edition is being grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments of this coral from the colony we acquired from Steve 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 12 inches below a 250w 20,000K XM Metal Halide (6" 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 Bi-monthly. Price is currently $70 per small sized fragment. The Bi-Monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found below.
