巴厘岛绿色Slimer
巴厘岛绿色Slimer(Acropora Yongei)是一种经典的水族馆珊瑚,在业余爱好已有20多年的历史。没有花哨的颜色或迷幻的触角。这个经典Acroporais as green as they come, but there is much to learn from this prolific species.
Back in the 90’s when people started keepingAcropora’s在水族馆中,业余爱好者是“只是乐于保持他们的活力,更不用说成长了”。迈克·帕莱塔(Mike Paletta)在他的文章中与经典的巴厘岛绿色Slimer分享了他的经验Some Of My Favorite SPS Corals.
When wild colonies of bright greenAcropora Yongeifirst entered the trade and aquarist started seeing fast, robust growth, word spread quickly. Soon branches of greenAcropora在全国各地走来走去,您可以发现这种独特的珊瑚几乎是每个礁石坦克。
While definitely not a flashy coral by today’s standards, back in the day, the Bali Green Slimer was a big deal. The neon green was one of the most colorful corals available and became a showpiece in early reef tanks.
Reading through Mike’s article and his first encounters with the Bali Green Slimer, he writes,“Many of us still recall the comments of dive masters at the time, not to touch any coral as it took decades for them to grow even an inch. So for many of us when we started keeping Acroporas we took this to heart and did not expect to see much growth let alone rapid growth.”
“So when we started keeping this coral successfully we were shocked when once it started growing it did so robustly. So much so that for many of us it was one of the first corals that we propagated and did so on a large scale.”
In The Wild
In the wildAcropora Yongeiis a dominant species, living in shallow wave-swept, sundrenched habitats down to darker, deeper, waters below 65 feet or 20 m. MostAcropora您在野外发现的物种位于上游,阳光丰富,稳定的流量为珊瑚礁进行补充。
Because of this incredible range of habitats,Acropora Yongeiforms large impressive stands, take for example this colony of蓝色的Acropora Yongei,,,,documented by Bruce Carlson in the Solomon Islands.
Not only does its tough genetics make it a dominant reef-building species, but it creates a resilient coral that can tolerate fragmentation and transportation. This also means it can adjust to just about any lights and flow conditions, perfect for novice aquarist’s just learning the keepAcropora珊瑚。
但是,这个名字意味着一个黏糊糊的秘密。虽然巴厘岛绿色的苗条可以忍受碎片,但在干扰时会迅速产生粘性粘液。如果您打算将碎片发送给您的朋友,您将需要等几天才能安顿下来,然后再收拾好!
We shot these pictures of wild Green Slimer while diving in Bali with Vincent Chalias. He pointed out these colonies as we snorkeled near shore, and encouraged me to learn more about this coral which lay the foundation for modern-day reef keeping.
回到基础知识
Aquarists are missing that back to basics joy of just being able to keep a coral alive, let alone growing them, as Mike puts it, even in their most basics green form. Twenty years ago growing this species was all the rage, now new aquarist just entering the hobby might not even know it exists.
凭借珊瑚碎片的可用性,易于使用高级饲养设备以及您的触手可及的丰富知识,在家中种植珊瑚比以往任何时候都容易。And with seemingly every aquarist fragging their own corals, affordable overnight shipping, trippy blue lights, and orange tinted glasses, if a coral doesn’t melt your face off with at least three colors, it will barely turn heads let alone be propagated across the country in every reef tank in existence.
希望这篇文章引发了这一应得的珊瑚的兴趣,不仅是伟大的初学者SPS,而且对其对水族馆爱好的历史和重要性也引起了人们的兴趣。回到基础知识并享受发展大型健康珊瑚的过程是一种有意义的体验,可以帮助我们更深入地尊重我们所保留的动物。
您知道有多少水族师可以说他们已经将珊瑚生存了20多年,或者自建立系统以来至少要保持相同的珊瑚?这是所有水族馆应努力实现的目标。
