Baby blue polyp tort

[rxx2]

Here is something interesting I noticed the other day. I've had this tort for probably close to 2 years. Never paid much attention to it. I thought the tips were turning blue which I thought, Oh cool. Closer inspection though surprised me with baby blue polyps. The base color is a dull army green-brown. Here are a couple pics. I've learned to really never give up on a coral. It can be months to years before you see something interesting coming out. You never know what is going to happen.

nice, but pretty sure that is not a tort though.

Thanks Doom. I'm not exactly sure what it is either. It was sold to me as a tort from a guy who is pretty experienced. I almost killed it a while back so it may not be your typical shaped Cali tort, etc. I'm gonna see if I can dig up the pick from the guy I got it from.

Here's the original pic I got from the guy who sold me the coral. It never looked like this in my tank. Probably because he had 20K's.

Anyone think this is a tort?

I think this is Miyagi tort (A.austera)

that is what Ithought when I saw the first picture. I could never get mine to color up until I switched to 20k.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. Didn't think about the austera. I got it mail order from a guy in Southern Cal, can't remember what city he's in.
