The Eastern area of the San francisco Bay in Northern California has become home to a growing community of stony coral reeffers and farmers. There are also a handful of reef shops that specialize in exotic hard to find stony coral. One such Reef Shop is Aquascene owned and operated by James Lee. While visiting Aquascene in the spring of 2005 Steve Tyree noticed a new Echinophyllia species that James had recently picked up. It looked like an Alien Eye with some possible extra or unusual pigmentation. Overall however the coral was not initially very vibrantly colored. Reeffarmers maintained a seed fragment of this colony and after a couple of months some very interesting pigments developed. The coral had Yellow Golden colored corallite mouths. These mouths are typically green colored on true Alien Eye corals. The coral is also developing red and pinkish pigments on its surface that are similar in color but less intense then the pinkish pigments in the Watermelon Alien Eye. This new Golden Eye does have the potential to develop multiple shades of pink and red that may get as intense as the Watermelon Alien Eye. After noticing these very interesting pigments Steve contacted James Lee and discovered that the same pigments had developed on the main mother colony that is currently at Aquascene. This truelly was an Alien Eye coral with yellow eyes. James decided to call the coral 'Golden Eye'. We refer to it as the Aquascene Golden Eye Echinophyllia coral. James originally purchased this coral from a Local Wholesaler in Hayward California. The coral was exported from Tonga. Reeffarmers is maintaining this farmed seed colony in one of our 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal Reef Aquariums. In the Reeffarmers.com captive reef the coral is currently recieving weak light, but we are ramping its light intensity up to moderate. The reef is illuminated with a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide. Please note this coral was retired on December 2008 due to the loss of the seed.
