New ORA Solitaryensis

ora is the best

 

[Creetin]

Thanks everybody!
Now to do it all over again. LOL I wish I could have gotten a bigger frag to start with. ORA are notoriously small on new releases. It will take me a few years like the last one did to get it like that.

Luckly I have a few LFS that sells ORA and even grown out frags to colonies to be fraged and sold at a lower price. I just wait or ask them to find me a nice grown out one in the back. You can get red planet frags that are 2-3 inches same goes for almost any major ORA sps.

How slow does the coral grow?

^ i would like to know too. growth structure is cool

 

[Brian Chong]

i think i'm getting this one next

 

[mallorieGgator]

I like it and think it's pretty. Especially in the 20k with the green showing up in the polyps.

 

[JasonD]

I got one and I'm glad idid

 

[CMcNeil]

If you get it to color up it should be a green base with purple edges with white polyps.I don't know why I see so many people saying it's brown,maybe it's just your system causing it to be brown but the ones I have seen at my LFS are green/purple with white polyps.

 

[JasonD]

It's a medium speed grower in my system

[samuelkl]

Decent colors there mike, even under 12k (from your sig)

 

[Jabrams]

ora's releases have been a great letdown. a common bali soli?

I agree, this is nothing new. Maybe they have gotten the coral used to captivity. but a few years wouldnt do that...

heh, one of these days i'm going to get the "limp" ora soli that is on DD.

heh.. specially now that I see they actually DO colour up. every one i've seen up until now was cream brown.
