Limited Edition

Rommel's Snake Eyes

Goniastrea aspera


Ultimate's Snake Eyes Favites - Mother colony

This Goniastrea aspera was obtained from Rommel Lumuaig in San Jose, California. Proprietor of Ultimatefrags.com. Rommel obtained this Goniastrea from a direct transship from Indonesia in early February 2006. The body has a pink/peach coloration with eyes that are neon green with blood red centers and radials that intersects the green areas in a petal pattern. The eyes are shaped like a snake, hence the name! A very unusual growth pattern. Colonies are massive to encrusting. Corallites are angular in shape and have thick walls. Long and short septa generally alternate. 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 from Rommel during our coral road trip to San Francisco in March of 2006. Frank Burr is propagating this coral in a SPS propagation system at The Coral Oasis grow out and distribution facility. The coral is positioned at about 18 inches from a 175watt 20,000K XM Metal Halide. Water current is moderate. Starting in March 2006 The Coral Oasis is allowed to distribute 1 farmed fragment of this spectacular coral per month. Price is currently $55 per small sized fragment. The Bi-monthly limited edition reservation schedule can be found below.
