The USC Darth Vadar Exclusive Edition Acropora is a Crayola-type Acro that just goes crazy under Blue LED lighting (see above and below images). Normal Crayola Acro develop a pastel blue to purple coloration on their branch stems. The pigment has a creamy appearance. These are usually reflecting pigments that can reflect bluish to purplish depending on the color of light they are displayed under. The Darth Vadar has a cream branch stem coloration that just lights up like a neon sign under Blue LED lighting. The dark blue polyps have a black appeareance when illuminated by Blue LED.

Reeffarmers received the first edition fragment of the USC Darth Vadar Acro directly from Select Corals in late November 2015. We spotted this coral within the amazing SPS garden of Uchin Chung located in the Fort Worth Dallas Metroplex area. Uchin described how this was an exclusive coral with some very unique attributes. Within the LED environment the morphological possibilities for this corals pigmentation is diverse.

Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in a 8 foot Raceway Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive moderate light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. The first edition fragment of this coral is now being offered to public buyers (see actual image below). List price is $200.00 . Reeffarmers standard max discount of 20 % brings that down to a maximum discounted price of $160 from the $200 Buy It Now.
