自从我们从海洋,珊瑚礁和水族馆中看到多产的水产养殖者的新杂菌已经有一段时间了,在爱好中称为ORA。黄色尖端的雄鹿以ORA的原始风格为图中,似乎是耐寒和快速增长的绿色菌株Acropora Austera.
The staghorn coral speciesAcropora Austerais superficially similar to theA. tortuosathat are ever popular in the reefing hobby. However strains like the new ORA Yellow Tip Stag grow incredibly fast for being medium to thick branched, and it’s one of the hardiest species in home aquariums.
Acropora Austerais not a particularly shaggy species in terms of polyp extension, but the ORA Yellow Tip Stag has the tell-tale small pink-purple polyps that are present in the younger corallites towards the growing margin. This is an excellent choice ofAcroporafor ORA to work with as I would consider it one of the best Acro for beginners to start with due to its hardiness and fast growth, and now they will be that much more available to reefers from coast to coast.
