ORA Sprung’s Stunner

The ORA Sprung’s Stunner (Echinopora lamellosa) was originally obtained from Julian Sprung after the famed aquarist dismantled his outdoor aquarium. It is very similar in appearance to the Hollywood Stunner Echinopora; however, it was given its own name (through a vote by Facebook friends and fans!) after ORA determined that they could not trace the lineage of this coral back to a Hollywood Stunner specimen. Though this beautiful strain is extremely hardy and tolerates lower light levels, it nevertheless grows quite rapidly. It features a purplish base color with golden green highlights and bright neon green polyps. Provide growing space between this coral and its neighbors to avoid nighttime injuries from its sweeper tentacles.

ORA Sprung’s Stunner can be placed at bottom-middle tank height with low-high light levels and moderate-strong water flow.

The Benefits of Farmed Sprung’s Stunner

Because it is grown under captive conditions, captive-bred livestock offers several advantages over its wild counterparts. It tends to be more disease resistant and harbors fewer pests. It also is better capable of handling shipping/acclimation stress and therefore is specially adapted to living in an aquarium. By purchasing captive-bred Echinopora, you support the aquaculture of marine organisms and help to make our hobby more sustainable!
