It’s still not an echinata. The radial corallites structure are not correct.Better picture....
Mine is growing like a bush... I need it to branch out. It just looks blue where you can see the bright white stalks, but they are covered in bushy "leaves" of radial corallites. I have the OG Tyree Ice Fire and a really, really nice one that I think that I got from Ed. Both of these are excellent examples and better than some of the cream colored ones that came in later.
I don’t know, the name is whatever name the seller gave it. Looks like a wild piece. But if the other one was labeled echinata species then yes it was mislabeled.Then I bought a mislabeled coral.
What do you think it is and what’s value?
Is this Strawberry Short Cake?
Agree. Corallite structure is not right for a. echinata. More like tenuis, a. plana or a. nasuta. Its a nice coral none the less, I would take a frag of it for sure.It’s still not an echinata. The radial corallites structure are not correct.
Yep normal for the base to be white and tips to be blue just depends on the genetics/variant. As for care its a pretty picky coral to keep. Rock solid stable water chemistry and lots of flow, both of these are very important. Good lighting is also important but echinata can do well under lower light as long as its a quality light source with proper spectrum.so i just picked one up, any special care tips?
is it normal that the base is white and tips are only blue under white light? wondering if i bought a semi bleached one.. the lfs turned up the white lights and the blues really came out, but now perusing this thread.. looks like everyone has blue corals even under mostly blue lights
Where did you get the frag from? I need one! LolAnyone keeping them in 300+ par?
I glued a frag in a couple of weeks ago and am ramping the lights up over the next few weeks.
