Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Merulina ampliata are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Merulina ampliata, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Merulina ampliata, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Description: Colonies are laminar or subarborescent, with these different growth-forms characteristically occurring together in large colonies. However, colonies may be composed only of plates or, in shallow water, primarily of branches. Valleys are short, straight, and spread in a fan before dividing. They radiate from the colony centre on flat surfaces, but are highly contorted on branches. Flat surfaces often have concentric growth lines. Tentacles are usually extended only at night.
