Although I do not have any of the corals mentioned, I do have the ORA Hawkins Enchinata.

ORA is top notch, they have been around longer than I can remember.

Out of the ones you listed the bellina is the nicest one and the miami orchid the ugliest

I have the Roscoe's Blue and the Bellina. Bellina is a beautiful coral but very slow in growth.

You guys are funny ... I'm thinking of picking one or two up. Bought a few online for first time and the Bellina bag leaked during shipment. Box was wet when arrived. When I opened to acclimate, water was colored, downhill from there. Merchant was great and gave the credit. Just want to be sure if I try again that ORA is normally healthy coral. thx!

I never saw one that nicely colored up except in a ulns, zeo, or bacteria powered tank. Every coral has the potential to look stellar but gl with that one.

ORA corals are aquacultured for years before they are released to the public. They have a reputation for hardiness. YOu should have no problems

I lost all my ORA corals exept for my red planet in a tank transfer ... Bummed!!

 

[SPSEMPIRE]

wow, that sucks. were they on the ora plugs?

Their RP is extremely hardy. It is kind of hard to kill them.

Old and not very good pic of my Roscoes

Miami Orchid
Hmmm, I guess I don't have a pic of it. I'm sure I do somewhere, but can't find it. I'll have to remedy that soon.

Valida

Bellina

I have red planet / german blue polyp / joe the coral / hawkins.

Hakins got to me half dead from liveaquaria. The past 2weeks it seems to have stabled out and is still alive.

Red planets are one of my favorite. Very fast growers in my tank.

My german blue polyp RTN'd and is currently trying to survive, i think i got atleast a frag from it.

Joe the coral is different, interesting growth.

All and all, they seem to keep there color quite well and are pretty easy to keep. IMO
