Ashley Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Does anyone know where I might find a white-tipped white torch coral? I saw one several weeks ago at RCA and have been kicking myself for not getting it. I've looked online and can't seem to find anything similar. This coral had white stalks with bright white tips...the whole thing had an almost iridescent, pearly look to it. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks, ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iplantz Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 RCA had a really nice what seemed to be all white, but off shaded Hammer coral today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It sounds as though it was purposely deprived of light until the coral purged itself of it's color producing algae. This is very stressful and can kill a coral. Research the way they do this to Sebae anemones. They place them in barrels for about 2 weeks. They come out bright white with purple tips. Within a few months they turn back to their normal blah brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Guess my torch is normal colored, but I love it. Purplish with bright white tips, and huge. There are enough heads on it (>15) that I could probably produce a few frags if anyone's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
