☄️ The forecast calls for Meteor Showers 🌌

Our upcoming ‘cover star’ is the mesmerizing Meteor Shower Cyphastrea. While many hobbyists appreciate Cyphastrea for its hardiness and ability to encrust almost any surface, it’s the contrast of this specific morph– electric orange polyps set against a deep teal base– that makes it a perennial favorite.

Our featured colony is illuminated with DALUA Illumagic X4 LED fixtures. The X4’s spectrum control highlights the fluorescent proteins in the polyps without washing out the richness of the base tissue, resulting in remarkably healthy and vibrant coloring.

Stay tuned for RHM's full digital and print release dropping soon, and for more ‘sneak peeks’ to come!
