Ice Fire Echinata

[Coronus]

Hello Friends,
This piece has been eluding me for years. I lost mine several years ago and been looking for it ever since. This is not a WTB thread ( Moderators). I want to see if anyone has a healthy colony. Please post up any pics you may have. I will try to find my old pic and post it. Thanks

Reebum has the Tyree Ice Fire.........it tends to have a light green on the inner branch skin.......still a very nice acro.

The Aussie Ice Fire is pure blue and white. Live Aq. used to bring in colonies but I haven't seen them pop up in about 5-6 months. There could be vendors/hobbyists that have it but growing out.

Just wanted to point that out............most probably don't care as both are beautiful.

Hey, do you know if the Tyree ice fire is from the original strain from Aquascene?

Big E, you have a similar echinata right?

Yes, exactly. I used to have this piece years ago. Wish I still did. Here if the entire backstory.

I had a nice growing colony for quite some time and it started to stn at the base. Not sure why I eventually lost it but I also had numerous thriving frags in the same system and they all went south at the same time although it took months of slow degradation before actual skin loss.

The Aussie version is pure pain as I lost a half dozen frags of this coral trying to get started.

The tyree version is a bit hardier and has a long track record of aqua cultured success.
