A blue polyped Acropora nasuta that actually keeps its coloration fairly easily. Most of the previous
blue polyped Nasuta Acropora have had difficulty maintaining colorful pigmentation after being moved
to new captive systems. They typically would turn into brown sticks with blue polyps. The Lasers
Pastel Rainbow Nasuta can redevelop these incredible pigments fairly easy when maintained under
moderate light levels. Branch tips are either bright blue or bright purple. Corallites are bright blue.
Polyps are green to blue. Branch stems vary from purple blue to green to turquoise to a golden cream
color.
Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in an 8 foot raceway
Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and
a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive moderate
light levels from a 400 watt SE 20,000 K metal halide. The first retail edition fragment
of this coral is being sold on our Buy It Now web page. Retail fragments of this coral currently
list for $ 90.00 as of August 22nd 2014.
