The Echinophyllia corals contain some of the most exotically pigmented coral morphs that have ever been imported into the US captive market. This Pink Carnation Echinophyllia is an incredible example of just how pigmented these corals can be. The coral has solid base pink pigmentaion. Mixed in with this pink are orangish areas, white stripes, bluish areas and dark red corallite centers. This was another coral that was initially acquired by Clint and Krista Conway of DiamondsintheReef.com . They acquired this coral from the online coral retailer Reefermadness in earl 2006. Clint believes that this is a low light coral. Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed farming section of the Red Eye Oxypora sp. coral for Reeffarmers.com in one of his 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal Reef Aquarium. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positoned to recieve weak light under a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide. The Auctioned Edition opening bid for each new auction is currently $100 per small sized fragment. The bimonthly auctioned edition auction schedules can be found below. Please note - This coral was retired from Reeffarmers distribution in March 2007. The coral never did grow very well and eventually withered away. This is another case of a brilliantly pigmented Echinophyllia coral not thriving in captivity. Only a few of them have exhibited this problem.
