First ever YELLOW setosa!

Story is that the normal old red setosa grew into a tricolor valida. After this the mother colony slowly transitioned to have a mix of red and green fluorescent protein coloration. Essentially a grafting event! The yellow color is very bright but only under actinics. Under halides it is a little less orange than a usual setosa.
This is, to my knowledge, The first ever yellow setosa. Originated and grown by the experienced Dan Rigle of Dan Rigle corals.

 

frag that.

 

The pic below is a JF red hot setosa L and the first ever frag of the DR yellow setosa R!

 

Nice!

 

Wow, interesting stuff Trent.

Thanks for sharing. He has a thread on RC right?

 

Thanks Cheryl. He does have a thread with pictures of all his corals on RC. His sn is rigleautomotive.

He is also on Facebook

 

That's very cool! How much for a frag of the yellow?

 

I was about to say!! Don't you mean dan Rigle automotive. he's a body/service guy that is very well known for his coral passion.

 

Don't think he is releasing it for sale yet. Probably another year or more. I expect it to be around $90-100 per frag when it is released.

 

Ok cool. I didn't expect it to be out for some time.
