that pealberry looks like a tenius.

I may have mixed the name and pics. One of these is supposed to be a pearlberry. Is either of these a pearlberry???

I don't really care I like them both, but was just wondering.

Now that I have the new tank, I have more room! I will have to plan a trip out to see your stuff!

And still more corals!

I don't know the common name for these...

Montipora Confusa- Some folks are calling this Incredible Hulk

Some folks call this Lime in the Sky not sure if it's from the LE
strain.

Electric Blue Millipora

This is a Valida or Nana

This is also a Valida or Nana

Your colors are pretty washed out, probably from the move.

P.S. Josh has been giving me hell about that pearlberry ever since he first saw it. I can only go by what I know. He knows you got it from me so he just wanst to try to keep making his point.
Here is a link in the S.P.S. forum to ORA pics, as you can see the pearlberry looks different in practically every picture:
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1486420&perpage=25&pagenumber=3

In fact my Borealis and Pearlberry look almost the same.

So until Josh or someone else can give me reason to believe my
Pearlberry that I removed from an ORA plug myself was somehow
misbagged or identified I'm sticking to the ID.


Here are a couple pics in differnt lighting:

No problem. I hope I did not cause any issues with you. I love that piece and it was growing well in my 55g tank. Hopefully it grows better in my new 125g!

No worries .
I just think it's funny.
If someone could prove it's not Pearlberry, That's fine. I would happily buy back each piece I sold for what I sold it for, but if not I just wish he would let it go.

BTW- The build is looking good. Can't wait to see it in person

Thanks for the ID's. Yea, they are probably unhappy from the move.

They also moved from under 1 MH to under 3 MH. Not sure if that will make a difference since they were directly under the MH before.

I do believe you got a mismarked bag for the borealis, the growth and polyp patterns dont match at all(in my opinion). I remembered thinking it was pearlberry when I looked at your tank. I would say it is by far the fuzziest acro I have ever seen polyp extension is unreal with about 99% of the pictures I have seen of it. I picked mine up at dons when he got in in.

mine looks like this to a t. I have the main and a 1" encrusting frag at the moment, The smaller ones color is spectacular.

Dont take offense I love what I got off you and your corals are amazing. I just thought it looked off, not your fault perhaps the baggers?

pics coming tonight.

So you can see a real pearlberry.

I was just sayin that is a tenius jeremy you dant have to get all hurt that your selling a coral you dont have.

 

[jgonzz]

Jeremy you bought the frag from H20 when they were closing they had no id on it, you just assumed thats what it was.
You told me yourself, post it in the sps id form and see what they say.


This is a tenius not ORA

Seriously. No worries guys. I love the frag, whatever it is and don't plan on selling it anytime soon (until it grows up!). I will post some more pictures so we can change the topic!

Well I am DONE! There is a lot of basement cleanup, but I have finished everything! Yoo Hoo!

Recent changes...
- I completed the canopy doors
- I wired 16 6000mcd LEDs into the canopy for nightlights
- I wired in 12 fans to provide ventilation for the MH system - works great!
- I set up the net cam - It worked for 1 day before my router got wind of it an locked it out. I am working on it and will post a link when I get it back up...

Here are some more pics.
