📜 Backstory
Sold as 'Ultra Orange Octospawn' by New Wave Aquaria and Sunnyside Corals, and discussed on reef2reef as 'Ultra Orange/Gold Octospawn,' described there as one of the rarer euphyllia color forms. 'Ultra' is a color-grade trade term for the most saturated orange/gold pieces; origin is wild-collected colored colonies. Hobbyists caution that some online 'orange' octospawns are color-edited green pieces, so WYSIWYG sourcing is recommended.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate light holds the orange pigment best; place mid-rock with gentle flow and avoid blasting light that can fade the warm tones.
