Shamrock Monti- Mother colony
|
This Montipora turtlensis was obtained from Chris Johnson of Phoenix, AZ. Chris
found this coral as a wild colony at an LFS in Phoenix in June of 2005. The
resulting pictured colony seen is after 6 months growth in Chris' reef system.
This Montipora turtlensis has a light blue body coloration with large shamrock
green polyps, a truly stunning coral. Very nice edge plating and encrusting
growth structure. In Chris' system the coral is positioned at the bottom of
the bare bottom tank, new growth is encrusting/plating along the glass. Lighting
is 250w 14k Phoenix with relatively strong flow. This Limited Edition is being
grown by The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments of this coral
from a starter colony piece (the 1st frag!) which we acquired from Chris during
our coral road trip to Phoenix in early January of 2006. 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 175watt
14,000K Hamilton Metal Halide. Water current is moderate to strong. Starting
in January 2006 The Coral Oasis is allowed to distribute 1 farmed fragment of
this beautiful coral per month. Price is currently $80 per small sized fragment.
The monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found below.
