Rainbow Chalice corals of the genusechinophylliahave arrived, in America at least, as evidenced by the recent bumper crop of multicolor chalice coral colonies at several of the country’s specialist coral vendors. The coral slingers at底特律珊瑚农场在专门的彩虹多色珊瑚上专门运输的努力和漫长的运作，这三重奏是我们在当地的一位珊瑚经销商处亲自亲自见到的。
贡佐（Gonzo）的珊瑚碎片的乔什·冈萨雷斯（Josh Gonzales）向我们示意，他收购了他有史以来目光的一些最精致的彩虹圣杯珊瑚，这是因为他是敬业的珊瑚收藏家的主要来源之一，这真是太多了。当我们到达奇闻趣事时，与他所拥有的一样多的超级色彩丰富多彩的珊瑚，几乎被乔什（Josh）在摩托城（Motor City）捡起的三个新的珊瑚菌株（Grinspoon Chalice）所黯然失色：Motor City Motor City Mayhem Chalice和Meltdown Chalice Coral。
我们自己拍摄了这些照片，在蓝色的LED照明下，混合了蓝色和粉红色/紫色T5灯，我们在这里将它们呈现给它们绝对零润修饰，只是一种基本的作物来构成主题。这些图片非常准确地反映了这些新鲜进口的珊瑚在现实生活中如何出现，尽管它们的颜色可能会改变，并且可能会在适当的光谱和降低的光强度下加剧。
Grinspoon圣杯珊瑚是你的非常标准nice super red chalice coral overlaced with smoky grey streaks that are bound to get more intense in aquarium lighting. What is not obvious about the picture is that in addition to the red body, the oral discs (eyes) are actuallyredderthan the surrounding tissue, making it appear as if the Grinspoon Chalice coral is glowing from within – a very cool effect.
汽车城混乱的圣杯珊瑚也是一个红色的圣杯，有丰富多汁的组织，但没有红色的口腔盘，而是具有黄色的绿色眼睛，可以弹出红色的底色。MCM圣杯还具有浅色的灰色条纹，与上面的Grinspoon Chalice Coral完全不同。
Last but certainly not least, the Meltdown Chalice has perhaps one of the most appropriate named-coral names ever since we’ve never seen anything quite like it. This coral right here, is a true representation of the official colors of the University of Miami Hurricanes football team, with an even balance of orange and green splattering. The swirls of color through the Meltdown Chalice are out of this world, and any single frags of this spectacularechinophyllia将是对话作品。
If there appears to be a few more Rainbow Chalice corals these days, don’t fool yourself into thinking there are that many more. These corals are the Creme-de-la-Creme-de-la-Creme; individual frags of these rainbow colored chalice corals will be expensive for sure, but with more than one colony to drool over the frags will shy away from being exorbitant prices.
High cost for corals like these are overall good for the reefkeeping hobby because it ensures that whoever gets the frags will really take care of it, grow it and add to the growing catalog of aquarium grown corals available in the reef aquarium community. With that little disclaimer out of the way, we hope you’ll enjoy the completely undoctored images below and lookout for them at your next local coral frag / aquarium event.
