A Word of the Coral
Specimen Z is not your average coral — it’s a precision-grown anomaly from the lab of nature itself. Pale mint-blue tubes form a perfect lattice of symmetry, while each polyp mouth glows with a concentrated burst of deep crimson. Like a cryogenically preserved relic or an alien lifeform in stasis, this piece exudes clean contrast and bio-tech vibes. It’s the kind of coral that looks engineered — and that’s exactly the appeal.
Name: Specimen Z
Type: Acropora Microclados
Coloration: Icy mint-blue body with dark maroon polyps and lavender undertones
Style: Clinical, alien, and refined — evokes the aesthetics of synthetic biology and futuristic design
Growth: Thick, uniform tubular branching with evenly spaced corallites
Lighting & Flow: High PAR / Moderate to strong flow for optimal polyp extension and clarity
Origin: Selectively grown in TIA’s SPS isolation zone — a lab-born legend, fragged for advanced collectors only
Fresh Cut Healing: Fresh-cut frags usually require about 1-2 weeks of recovery to ensure they are healthy and safe to ship. We prioritize coral health before shipment.
