Granted that the photo above was likely taken under optimized lighting conditions, we have every reason to believe the coral above looks as amazing as the photo would suggest. The pictorial evidence was presented in a discussion of whether the photo had been subjected to photoshop editing. It appears as though the coral was made from a square cut which has since added 1/4″ to it’s perimeter. Is the coral above the result of a grafting experiment? Is the mottling and the extreme diversity of color a stable condition under various aquarium environments? Very little is known about this corl but we can all be certain that this strain will surely spawn a very creative trade name. Photo originally from Photobucket user Troppics.
Update: We have learned that the fantastic coral above is from Tropicorium, the original coral farm, and it is called the Melting Pot Acid Trip Challice. The asking price? Only $400 per polyp.

It might be real, but it’s definitely ’shooped.
The saturation has been cranked on all of his photos. No need to think this would be different.
Looks cool, i have seen someone, make monit’s grow in an amazing pattern, by putting lots of little frags all on one rock, and they have merged together still its nice
Looks like a manufactured coral to me. You guys ever check out Justin Credable at Sustainable Corals? He plays with coral DNA trying to come up with more hearty corals that can withstand the added stress we are placing on these animals. This enchino would be something you would see come from his shop.
Shopped 100%. Plus the name “Melting Pot” was copied from another chalice.
