Anyone have Tyree Agent Orange Sub-Echinata?

I had this piece about 2007-2008, and I think it was the above mentioned coral. Not totally sure though. One of my favorites.

If you have pics, even if you don't have the coral anymore, I'd love to see them.

This is just a frag of yours? :eek1:

Yeah, I'm not sure if mine was the tyree or not. It seems like it was close. I like the pink/green combo.

Probably my favorite lps ever. Sad to see that there doesn't seem to be many around anymore.

I have had mine for about 2 years and it grows very slowly. It is pretty though

Nice. Does it have any pink in any of the mouths when it grows? I have a feeling I may have had a slightly different strain.

I believe tyree agent orange and orange crush are different My understanding is that tyree agent orange will get area of pink through it. And the orange is extremely bright, especially top down views

Same colony but from September 2103

Nice! Well there's definitely partial pink in the mouth there, so it seems that mine may have been an agent orange after all.

From what I can tell "Orange Crush" Is kind of a catch-all term used by a lot of different retailers/frag sellers, but the "Agent Orange" is the strain once sold by Tyree.

I recently purchased a tiny frag, hoping it would turn out to be the right strain. Unfortunately the retailer sent me a sub-thumbnail piece that happened to be receding. I don't think it's going to make it. I don't know that it's the right piece anyway.

I doubt I'll be purchasing from them again, if you can't keep easy to keep corals like Acanthastrea Echinata or Montipora Digitata healthy in your system. . .

Thanks for the clarification. WWC has a colony listed, but it lacks pink and has some darker coloration on it as well.
