Favia matthai Pink and Violet Colony
Photo by Tracy Gray
This encrusting massive Favia matthai has a brilliant pink coloration located
within the center of the corals crowded corallites. There is also a faint violet
pigment located in the areas between corallites. This coral simply has a
stunning pigmentation coloration that appears very similar to image 5 on page
107 of the Volume 3 book Corals of the World by Veron. The original coral was
found by Steve Tyree while being held within a wholesale facility located in Los
Angeles. At first the pink pigmentation within the corallite centers was only
faintly visible. The pink has intensified in captivity while the coral was located
under low light intensity. The violet color has also developed inbetween the
corallites. Steve Tyree is maintaining this coral for reeffarmers.com in one of
his 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal EG Reef Aquariums. In Steve's
captive reef the coral is positoned to recieve low light under a 400 watt 20,000
K Radium Metal Halide. The coral is located in a low corner of the aquarium.
Price is currently $60 per small sized fragment. The bimonthly limited edition
