Well last month was our inaugural Coral Trend feature that showcased what is HOT in the world of corals. Lets take a look if things have changed since then..
CANADA:
Symphyllia wilsoni
Its been a weird month for us in Canada. The trends are still to bring in Aussie corals as much as possible, such as acanthastreas, favidaes, echinophyllias, etc. Recently I stumbled upon this ‘hot’ coral: Symphyllia wilsoni. I think I smell a spicy coral in the pot. Lets see if everyone else likes them. (photos courtesy of Zach R. and ReefBuilders.com, respectively.)
United States:
Echinophyllia (Chalice Coral)
Well, you thought that the craze would subside.. wrong! Its alive and well. The frags cannot come smaller, and demand is at all time high. I have seen frags go for 80-100$ for tiny specimens. Don’t get me wrong, they are nice, but they do take a long time to grow out. Could this be sustained next month? Stay tuned! (photos courtesy of er1c.the.reefer and Saltysteele at Reef2Reef.com)
