A very colorful Micromussa coral that is most brilliantly colored under blue LED lighting. The center corallite eye area is dark with bright blue to white colored swirls and specks. The inner corallite ridge is reddish under 20,000 K, while it is brilliant blood red under Royal Blue LED lighting. Corallite ridges are bright fluorescent green with outer edges colored bright blue. That bright blue can be seen as a dividing line that runs along individual corallite edges.

Reeffarmers saw this colorful Micromussa coral at the 2016 spring Texas Coral Fest. Jamie of IJAM was displaying the coral and it did not have a marketing name at the time. So Reeffarmers acquired two frags and we agreed on a marketing name that accurately described this coral. The stink eye name is obviously based on the blue white (20,000 K) spots that appear in the center of the corallite eye. After acquiring the coral from IJAM we placed the coral into an area of our reef that received low light and moderate swirling water currents. In this area the coral is frequently exposed to snail waste pellets and we believe it occasionally consumes them. All fragments in house are doing very well with good growth.

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 light and moderate water current. The first edition fragment of this coral is being offered on our Reeffarmers Buy it Now web page. List price for the small fragment is $80. Reeffarmers is also growing out a second edition fragment with 5 corallite eyes. Page text updated on June 1st 2016.
