Acropora sp.
Lime in the Sky


Greg Carroll's Original Lime in the Sky Colony
Photo by Greg Carroll

This is another outstanding Acropora coral from Greg Carroll of Southern California (gcarroll). The thin branching staghorn has a very distinctive coloration pattern. Branch stems are bright blue, while corallites are bright lime green. This coloration combination is why Greg has called the coral 'Lime in the Sky'. Greg originally acquired this coral as a colony from Jeffs Exotic of Gardena California. The colony was imported in 2003 and may be from the Solomons. The coral has always had its distinctive lime in the sky coloration pattern. It needs moderate light levels, but will grow faster when exposed to strong light levels. In the past year or two the coral has demonstrated that it can also grow encrusting growths. Reeffarmers is maintaining farmed seed sections of the Lime in the Sky coral within one of our 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal Reef Aquariums. This captive reef is illuminated with a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. Our seed fragments are recieving moderate light levels and moderate to weak water currents. Limited Edition Reservation price is currently $70 per small sized fragment. The monthly limited edition reservation schedules can be found below. Please note effective September 2009 we have changed the harvesting and reservation schedule to bimonthly. This better matches the corals long term growth rate in captivity.
