ORA Acro - ID Please

[tripnbili]

I got a heck of a deal on this ORA acro ($30)...it's about 3-4" tall and beginning to branch. The picture doesn't do it justice. I also got a piece of ORA Frogskin, about the same size. The guy at the LFS didn't remember the name of this one, so hopefully someone can ID it.

Thanks!!

Not the first time I've been accused of being blind :eek2:

Is it purple plasma then?

 

[Whisperer]

I was actually talking about that. There is not a hint of purple in that coral and someone said it was PP.

hah after looking closly true the main stalk looks liek a scripts but the polpys are way diff and tend to lean more towards the purple plasma. at the top right branch of the coral it seems to be regaining the purple blue look anyone else see that?

 

[DustinB]

It does look like a poor purple plasma, mainly from the polyps.

 

[flamron]

I do see what you are saying. Scripps popped into my head when I saw it, and I'm still leaning that way.

But, does the PP form a table as it branches out? It kind of appears that it is starting to form fingers, but I'm not sure if the PP does that. I'm almost positive that the scripps doesn't.

The purple plasma frag I picked up has all the branches growing upward. PP is supposed to be a stag.

Actually, the frag I have is a base of purple...a deep purple with a redish hue to it. The corallites are green with big green polyps. The picture I took doesn't who it very well b/c it's a crappy point and shoot and the frag is on the rack at the back of the tank.

The pictures of the PP in the post provided above look very close...

Looks like a dying Purple Plas

A purple plasma with growth tips looks like it's dying? :hmm4:

I thought PP when I first glimpsed as well. Of course it seems like it needs a little TLC to get the full beauty back.
