Mystery Coral: June ’22 #2
23 Jun, 2022
Corals showing this mixed, somewhat “piebald” type of coloration are an interesting twist on classic forms. Whether they come about naturally or are the process of creating chimeras manually at the hands of industrious coral farmers, they are uncommon and generally command higher prices, but are otherwise no different from the more typical forms with regards to captive husbandry. The trick….trying to ensure that the mix of coloration remains in each and every fragment and colony!
Can you ID this coral? Make your guesses, and check back next week for the answer!
