Anyone ever seen an Orange Pagoda coral?

[SaltyWalter]

I'm wondering how rare an orange pagoda is? The species is Tubinaria peltata, the larger polyp kind that's often referred to as pagoda cup.

I have seen only a hand full of pictures of a yellow ones, and had a few purple ones , but I'm talking sun coral orange in this case...

Searched for a little bit but havnt found one like this.

Pictures to come as it settles in and opens up...

I have seen a few yellow and orange dyed pagoda cups as well as gonioporas. A true orange specimen would be a keeper for sure.

Sounds a little fishy to me... (let's hope not)

Couple quick shots. I'm gonna work on better ones once the polyps open fully too. I'll be fragging a small piece off to see what color the healed growth comes in so I can know for sure sooner.

Yes, watch out for dye.
