Ice Fire Echinata

erikjphillips · Mar 25, 2012

anyone have this? i was going to order one from cultivated reef but wasent sure how much different it looks from the picture on the site, little skeptical of the online coral purchase still.

Is it the Tyree one or the other one that comes in a lot and named ice fire? The Tyree one if you can keep its color is breath taking once its grown out a little green with blue tip enchanta. The wild one I have no experience with.

i doubt its tyree- its only like $40 for the frag

I used to have both, and the color/growth was almost identical.

However, the wild one grew faster but RTNed on me, whereas the "tyree" one barely grew over the year but still alive.

I have the Aquascene Ice Fire version....amazing coral.

I have the Tyree version, I got it as a rescue coral from another reefer, It took forever to come back. It has finally gotten all of the great color back and has a very differant form than most other acros Ive seen. Place it in a spot where its protected as its easily broken

THREAD IS NOTHING WITHOUT PICS ... so ill fix that
Grows great in my tank, this frag is about 6 months old or there abouts, came in around 1/2 in with no branches when i got it. not the fastest grower but does well. LOVE it
sorry its kinda hidden in the pic but the green table is well grown onto the frag rack.

What lights do you have ABT?

tcfab · Mar 28, 2012

I got mine from Jared at Rocky Mountain Frags, it does well and has great color. Its not a fast grower as others have said but one of my favorites.:bigsmile:

so i've decided i'm going to hold off and grab a frag of tyree when it becomes available. i figure if i'm going to spend some decent money on a frag i may as well get the "best" right? By the way, how is lineage proven?

Get it from a reputable vendor that specializes in exotic sps. Rockymountainfrags is a fine choice.

here is a tyree one

BigJohnWoody · Mar 29, 2012

Tyree icefire has been on the top of my list for some time. It's just every time I find it, it either is sold already or it's over a hundred bucks for a 1/2 to 3/4 inch frag and then another 50 for shipping

. Too much to spend when it's that size for me. Good luck with your searching and pm me if you find more than one. Thanks
