The ReefReady Hurricane coral is another one of the amazing Reverse Watermelon corals. The Reverse Watermelon Echinophyllia Corals have green to turquoise colored base pigmentation with bright orange to pink corallite centers. The ReefReady Hurricane also has some unique characteristics. The Corallites can actually grow to be very large (see image above). There are also lines of red pigment that occur within the corallites orange center (see image below). These exotically colored corallites make an awesome site when they grow large in size. The base coloration of this coral is a Pine Green coloration and there are some tuberculae or bumps on the surface. The corals base is similar to the Bubble Gum Monster Reverse Watermelon, but the shade of green is slightly darker. Reeffarmers received our seed of this coral directly from Matt of ReefReady.net . Matt acquired the coral during the summer of 2007. It may have come from Australia but we are not certain. Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of the ReefReady Hurricane Echinophyllia for Reeffarmers.com in an 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal Reef Aquarium. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive Weak to moderate light under a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide. The coral appears to require weak to Moderate illumination to retain its coloration. The Auctioned Edition opening bid for each new auction is currently $150 per small fragment.
