A Thorny Mystery Coral
18 Jun, 2021
- It features a very spiky appearance given the elongated corallites of this species.
- It is a coral rarely (if ever) seen in the marine aquarium trade.
- A more-common relative is often appealing to beginners and grows well, but can pack a nasty wallop, easily dispatching neighboring corals in a large radius around it.
- It is now being maricultured in Indonesia by Bali Aquarium, which may mean this unique coral will be available to you in the coming few years.
- It is featured in the forthcoming July/August 2021 issue of CORAL Magazine.
