如果我们没有将您的注意力引起新的外来物种瘦肉, L. kalayaanensis.Described in 2009from the Philippinesand subsequently also observedgrowing in the South China Sea, Leptoseris kalayaanensis looks like no other species of stony coral.
Except for瘦肉tubbuliferawe cannot picture any corals with such a regular pattern of knobby spikes and spines looking very much like a flattened out dog toy. The light colored growing edge and spike tips give great contrast to even the brown coral pictured alive in the above photograph, but can you imagine what that would look like in standard-issue瘦肉orange or green?
Although only known to grow in areas where corals are safe from aquarium collectors, there’s still some hope of encountering this瘦肉kalayaanensisin aquaria. We’ve kind of gotten used to writing off ever seeing exotic species of marine life withuncooperativedistribution ranges still make it into aquarium culture, either through wild harvesting or mariculture.
If Vietnam mushroom anemones and some Acan Lordshavetrickled into the reef aquarium trade then you never know one day we may encounterLeptoseirs kalayaanensisLED下的阳光。
