We’ve seen some pretty epic Acnthophyllia meat corals in our day but a pair of insane specimens from Malaya Reef Aquatic are on a whole other level. If we had an idea of what colors and patterns constituted a top shelf for the one and only species of Acanthophyllia, these two new specimens just raised the bar much, MUCH higher.
The crazy thing is that finding one specimen of this caliber is quite incredible in its own right. Finding two specimens, and reflecting on the few other meat corals that we’ve seen close to this league, hints at a whole new color category that we’ve just not really seen before.
