Tabling Acropora tenius - Mother colony
|
This beautiful Acropora tenuis grows in a table structure instead of the normal
tenuis vertical growth. The body coloration varies from a light green to a cream
color and ability to develop blue/purple tips. Polyps are extended during the
day and are light greenish in color. We believe this is one of the first true
tabling tenuis that has been found. This particular colony was grown by Scot
Karle (Fresno, CA) from a fragment obtained from a local reefer and is the only
known specimen of this unique coral. This Limited Edition is being grown by
The Coral Oasis who is distributing and growing fragments of this coral from
two seed fragments we acquired from Scot in March of 2005, growth has remained
in a table structure. 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 18 inches from a 250 watt 14,000K Hamilton Metal Halide.
Water current is moderate. Starting in August 2005 The Coral Oasis is allowed
to distribute 1 farmed fragment of this coral per month. Price is currently
$80 per small sized fragment. The monthly limited edition reservation schedule
can be found below.
Please note -
This Limited Edition coral has been selected for First Edition Auctioning through
Tropical Reef
Oasis. The very first fragment of this coral produced
and grown within the The Coral Oasis facility will be auctioned beginning August
17, 2005 to the highest bidder. When these First Edition The Coral Oasis Auctions
occur, up to 50 % of the auction price will go to the farmer that delivered
this coral to The Coral Oasis facility. We do this in gratitude to reef farmers
who have chosen to sell their rare corals through The Coral Oasis distribution
network. After this First Edition Auction the coral becomes a normal Limited
Edition each month where The Coral Oasis earns each months reservation income
by growing the captive fragment. The Coral Oasis facility is closed to the public
and available by appointment only.
