Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Echinophyllia aspera are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Echinophyllia aspera, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Echinophyllia aspera, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Seit ein paar Monaten habe ich diese Koralle in meinem Aquarium. Sie steht in direkter Strömung unter T5-Beleuchtung.
In der Zeit, wo sie bei mir ist, hat sie ihre Farbe von hellem rot komplett in blau-grün geändert.
Abends sieht man oft kleine Tentakeln, die nach Futter angeln.
Eine sehr schöne Koralle, die sich sehr gut halten lässt.
