Another incredible staghorn coral from the captive reef of Uchin Chong. The Blue Diamond Staghorn has an incredibly bright blue coloration. Branch stems have blue pigments that occur around dark brown lines of healthy symbiotic algae. Up close the blue branches are actually blue lined branches. Polyps however fluoresce solid bright blue. From a distance the staghorn branches appear solid blue, while the polyps are slightly extended.

Reeffarmers received our seed and 1st edition fragments directly from Uchin Chong. The coral was originally acquired by Uchin as a plain brown colored stag, during a Dallas Fort Worth frag swap in 2010. This was a diamond in the rough coral find that turned into something spectacular. We recommend strong to moderate light levels and moderate water current flows.

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 strong to moderate light levels from a 400 watt SE 20,000 K metal halide. The first retail edition fragment of this coral is currently being sold on our Buy It Now web page. The introductory price is $140.00 .
