The RK Pumpkin Chunker is a giant sized Paly. The main large disk starts off solid brilliant pumpkin orange. As the polyp grows, the orange pigments spread out into an orange speckled center disk. Polyp tentacles are colored a fiery orange. Dark polyp areas have a slight burgundy shade of pigment.

Reefkoi has been one of the main exotic polyp growers since the late 2000 years. Reeffarmers visited their Colorado Springs facility in the fall of 2014. During that visit Chris of Reefkoi pulled out three new and rare paly morphs from the Reefkoi Locker. This RK Pumpkin Chunker was one of those palys.

Chris at Reefkoi imported this new paly during the summer of 2014. It was originally exported from Indonesia. The paly morph is fairly new to captivity and source polyps are still rare in the fall of 2014. This paly prefers weak to moderate light and moderate to weak current.

Reeffarmers is maintaining a seed section of this coral in a 8 foot Raceway Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In this captive reef the coral is positioned to receive weak to moderate light and current. The first edition polyp of this coral was sold on our Buy It Now web page on November 4th 2014. Retail price was $100 for a single polyp.
