木乃伊眼科珊瑚珊瑚是最古老，最受欢迎的经典菌株之一echinophyllia.but this coral has a unique trick up its tentacles. When it was first introduced to the reefing world by Isaac Seidel it was originally named the ‘Oregon Mummy Eye’ chalice coral and was referred to a reverse watermelon chalice with a mustard-green body coloration punctuated by pinkish orange mouths.
多年来，这个名字缩短了简单地“木乃伊”，它已成为一个艰难，快速的生长和高度通用的水族箱珊瑚菌条，这些水族箱在整个礁石水族馆的爱好过程中传播。俄勒冈州妈妈的眼睛有趣的是，它的着色和外观非常动态，并且与其原始颜色模式相比，变形并变形并变得无法辨认。
Longtime keepers of the Oregon Mummy Eye chalice will be all too familiar with this coral’s metamorphosis under aquarium conditions and especially blue heavy LED reef aquarium lighting where the coral will often turn a light fluorescent yellow over the base green and pink coloration resulting in a mostly orange coral. But over a long period of time we’ve seen the Oregon Mummy Eye chalice demonstrate an even broader color palette which is variable and unpredictable, throwing out splashes of red, patches of green, and even some spots or stripes of what appears to be a deep purple pigmentation.
Pictured above you can see two nice examples of a transformed Oregon Mummy Eye chalice coral from Aquarium Care Center and Legendary Corals which exhibit some of the color range of this more than thirteen year old strain ofechinophyllia.珊瑚。We’ve seen plenty of sizable frags of the Oregon Mummy Eye chalice for sale at reef shows, frag swaps and other reefers tanks which approximated the chalice corals pictured above but recently we were taken aback by a colony which was completely transmutated and justbarely从其父母谱系识别。
上面描绘的殖民地是由我们日本礁建设者贡献者在2017年的闪烁珊瑚队的收购，其中该标本真正成长并用其配色方案进行了实验。与一些橙绿色木乃伊眼睛不同，Taka的片断似乎已经将橙色和绿色颜料分开到自由基漩涡和条纹上以不可预测的方式在整个整个殖民地中划出。
Taka的俄勒冈州木乃伊眼科黑山山脉完全缺乏粉红色的嘴巴，但这种颜料也可以在群体的一部分中找到，尽管它比原型差异较小和定义。围绕殖民地的周边围绕殖民地的周边特别良好地定义颜色分离，其中珊瑚更紧密地相似Acid TripandMelting Pot chalicesof old and by looking at this section you’d never guess it was the Oregon Mummy Eye chalice.
Taka-San将他的Chalice Coral保留在AI Hydra LED照明下几年，最近被升级到辐射Gen 5蓝色，其接收到非常标称的照明强度。珊瑚可以在礁石水族馆条件下改变的方式是我们最大的迷恋之一，我们的珊瑚礁坦克和塔卡的俄勒冈州木乃伊眼科珊瑚珊瑚是色彩变化最极端的例子之一棘鱼。We wish we knew how and why corals can change their colors so dramatically but the first step to understanding the process is documenting these changes, and attributing the strain name to the proper, original lineage.
