Turbinaria heronensisis a very unusual Australian endemic coral which has been making it into the U.S. reef aquarium hobby for a little over a year now.Turbinaria heronensisis still so rare that many if not most of the colonies being imported thus far are ending up in the hands of fraggers. So although we’ve seen plenty of fair sized frags ofTurbinaria heronensis在各种海洋水族馆活动中,直到最近,我们才能很好地看待一个很好的形状殖民地,然后才能进入刀片。
Although most of the colonies ofTurbinaria heronensiswe’ve seen pictured thus far have been somewhat irregular and more branching, the beautifulTurbinaria heronensiscolony we spied atOculus Aquaticshas a very unusual appearance that is halfway between a typical cup coral and the look of a branchingDuncanopsammia.With its polyps retracted this colony oft . heronensisbares a resemblance toAcropora suharsonoi.
