The deluge of Australian LPS corals which have flooded the US aquarium market may have all but overwhelmed the SPS subculture of the reefing community but now that many of us have had our fill of lords, hillaes, moseleyas and scolymias for several lifetimes, Australian divers are now being instructed to collect more and more Australian Acropora. The aquarium above which was installed and is maintained by LiveAquaria’s director, Kevin Kohen, already contains a number of Australian acro gems. When we visited Kevin’s office tank a couple weekends ago we saw a fair number of “dotted lines” on his acro colonies which could make fine frags for a future Reef Builders giveaway, any takers? Hit us up in the comments telling us which corals you like best and which ones you think are Aussie, and let’s see if we can make enough to noise to get Kevin to pull out his fragging tools.
