The Hawkins Echinata is an Acropora sp. that is aquacultured right here in the USA. ORA states that it was imported from Germany in 2006 and was named after their coral facility manager, Robert Hawkins. It is a species that enjoys high amount of light and flow which will allow the specimen to reach its maximum potential in terms of color and health. Key characteristics include blue / green body and thin branch-like growth.
All ORA frags are 100% aquacultured which means that this specific species has been propagated in captivity dating back more than three or more generations. ORA is also well known for their distribution of livestock after the specimen has fully encrusted onto the frag plugs. These contributing factors significantly reduce the amount of transit stress and allow livestock to acclimate more easily to home aquarium systems. * This is a representative picture.
