Toxic Candy Micromussa Reeffarmers Seed Colony. The polyps of this exotic
Micromussa expand to a large size and extend away from the skeletal base. This makes the solid pink corallite
centers very large. This coral easily maintains its pigments and is very easy to maintain.
The Toxic Candy Micromussa coral has pigmentation patterns that are similar to the pigment patterns of the
Angel Eye Micromussa. Corallite centers are solid bright pink. Around the corallite center there is a
ring of bright green pigments. The outer area of the polyp has a dark brown to black appearence. The very
edge of the polyp has bright green pigments. The main difference between the Toxic Candy and the Angel Eye
is that the Toxic Candy polyps expand away from the corallite skeletal base and there are much larger in
size. This means that the solid pink area of the corallite center is much larger.
Reeffarmers recieved our seed section of this coral from Rob McKinney of Underwater paradise located in
Marysville California (underwaterparadise@att.net). Rob believes this Micromussa was exported from the South
China Sea area.
Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of the Toxic Candy Micromussa for Reeffarmers.com
in an 80 gallon naturally filtered Bi-Zonal Reef Aquarium. In Steve's captive reef the coral is
positioned to receive weak light under a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide. The coral
only needs weak illumination to maintian its coloration. The Auctioned Edition opening bid for each
new auction is currently $90 per small fragment with 3 polyps. The quarterly auctioned edition auction
schedules can be found below.

expanded.
