New ORA Release: Blue Iris Acro

[Charlie Davidson]

The one I just got from LiveAquaria was $79.99. May be able to find it cheaper once they start releasing more and it's been out a while.

Steven, How is my BI frag doing? :wave:

Steven, How is my BI frag doing? :wave:

LOL. Great. With the way it's growing you should have a frag somewhere near the end of 2010. :lol:

 

[drd]

mine is arriving on friday will post a pic as soon as it is opened along with its the other new one from ORA frog skin

 

[douglam]

mine has encrusted a little bit but i think thats it

 

[poidog81]

maybe I'll get some pics up soon... I've been eyeing a DSLR and costco just dropped the price... dangerous! My point and shoot won't focus on it now, because it's permanent home is too far into the tank to focus.

Mine is showing some growth with the tissues growing down into the frag plug. When I picked it up it looked fresh cut, with some tissue recession. So far I am happy with the growth, the color has also been improving. It is hard to tell how much the branches have grown.

 

[poidog81]

I'm surprised mine is growing/encrusting that fast, since everyone else's seems to be a bit slower.

 

[StephenInVa]

I'm getting great encrusting but little structure growth. Maybe it's like the red planet I have. It made a big puddle on the rock then took off like wild fire with the branches. I guess it might also have something to do with my frag of it still sitting in the frag rack.

 

[Charlie Davidson]

Best place to order one is still DD?

 

[StephenInVa]

Yep Charlie. At least IMO.

 

[poidog81]

DD or Mrcoral .com. You'll have to call them cause they don't put their ORA on their site. I've gotten 3/4 of my ORA are from them. I think a LFS near me had one and a red planet. Both looked like they were losing color under their lighting, but the color and structure looked like it was a blue iris. If you can't find one online, I could verify and ship it to you if you want (if they don't ship directly).

 

[Charlie Davidson]

MrC did not have but 1 piece of ORA. Plumcrazy, I believe (?)

 

[poidog81]

Did you ask when their next order would be? They'll get you what you want, unless they're leaning away from ORA.

 

[Charlie Davidson]

I found one
I desided to order a plum crazy also.. are they really Plum colored?

 

[poidog81]

awesome! where did you pick on up at? don't know about the plum crazy have you looked at it at oracorals .com ?

 

[Charlie Davidson]

I didn't think of looking at ORA home page! :wildone:
I emailed saltwaterfish when this thread came out, asking if they will carry it, they never replied.. but have it now.. ( thier shipping is 20$)

 

[poidog81]

Charlie - when do your corals come in?

 

[Charlie Davidson]

They normally ship fast, I guess it will ship Monday for Tuesdays delivery..

 

[poidog81]

Here's my growth pic. I love how the encrusting portion has a blue growth ring.

 

[Charlie Davidson]

It really looks healthy,, Great PE too! Its hard for me to tell, did you remove it from plastic plug?
