Acropora Jacquelineaeis a very recognizable species of deepwater or smooth skinned Acro. It is relatively easy to keep, but until now if you wanted to try your hand at growing the unique shape ofAcropora Jacquelineae您必须满足于在浅棕色或灰色的阴影中享受它。
Once again, our travels off the beaten path and outside the regular areas of collection for marine aquariums has revealed a new, previously unknown color form of an Acro species. We sighted this cotton-candy pinkAcropora Jacquelineaein Raja Ampat Indonesia, in a very similar reef environment as theCenderawasih Butterflyfishwe shared with you yesterday.
The pinkAcropora Jacquelineaepictured here is the first of three, but by far the largest and brightest pink ‘Jacquie’ that we observed in Raja Ampat, Each time we sighted a pinkA. jacquelineaeit was at a moderate depth on a gradual reef slope, pretty close to shore where the water is not so clear and water currents are fairly mild.
我们发现了πnkA. jacquelineaewe were immediately reminded of theredAcropora suharsonoifrom our previous travels in Indonesia. In factA. jacquelineaeshares some similarities in appearance with Suharsonoi Acro, notably the smooth and elongated axial corallites which dominate the appearance and growth form ofA. jacquelineae.
The specific pink coloration of the Jacquie Acro was noticeable under the ambient blue light in which it grew, but the shade of rose really popped under our video and strobe lights; it’s the type of pastel pink color which responds extremely well to warm lighting from T5 fluorescent lamps. We imagine that the pink Jacquie Acro would look incredibly nice in an SPS aquarium, especially the likes of which aim for probiotic conditions and very low nutrients that really bring out the chromatic pigments of stony corals.
To date we’ve never seen a pinkA. jacquelineae可用于水族馆爱好,但珊瑚s of the World确实提到了这种物种以粉红色的颜色,因此希望这种颜色形式不是很少见。而且,有了相当广泛的自然范围,我们有一天可能会看到这种颜色形式从印度尼西亚,巴布亚新几内亚或所罗门群岛的不同部分获得。betway官网推荐
