Blue Tort Color Question

[dwilly]

I got this frag about 3 weeks ago and it has pe and is growing. (It is supposed to be an Oregon Blue tort) However, about 5 days ago it started turning bright green from the bottom up. You can see it a little in the pic, it is actually more green in real life. It still has pe and otherwise looks fine. Whats up? Is this normal? Is it actually a different type of coral?

while it doesn't sound like an oregon tort, you do have to give it a little more time. It could have browned out in shipping or in the tank of the previous owners.

I have read though that the oregon tort is one of the most missued/misidentified corals. I believe the same thing happened to me - I got one in trade and after a 2 months it's coloring up nicely, but nothing like what I've seen others have.

Question for the mod that moved this: I wasn't looking for an ID on this coral, I was just loooking to see of it was sick. I don't care what kind of coral it is. If I'm looking to see if a coral is sick or something is wrong, should I post to the SPS ID forum? I thought that was for identifying what type of coral you have. I have no interest in ID'ing this, I want to know if something is wrong, i.e. stn, aefw, red bugs, ect

Its a blue tort. Mine shifts colors alot. Was total green, then blue green then back and forth:

Heres and Oregan Tort

Based on what I've seen searching around I'm thinking that it might be the California tort, which is still pretty blue, so that would be OK, too. Thanks for the help

Mine did the same thing. It was blue when I got it then turned green about one week later.
