Then what? THey still stay quite red under high kelvin and dimmer lighting in my experience.

No I moved to PSL a few years ago it was fintastics in Jensen. Oceans below was a favorite of mine when I lived down there. Good advice from Rob kept me from quitting the hobby years ago they were the most reputable store in North PBC.

high K / dimmer lighting causes RP to turn green around here. Maybe you need dirtier water

35.00? my LFS is "giving me a deal" at 50.00..... hmmm

i honestly think that ORA is slapping their name on this on to generate sales becuase it does not have their multiple pigment color or contrasting polyps.... not a unusual looking color or growth pattern... is it just me or is that what we should be expecting from ORA

 

[kaserpick]

I think it's pretty cool! I look forward to having a piece someday.

 

[smtank]

I like the look of it, and I intend on acquiring a piece.

 

[chefzif]

Nice piece for 35!

 

[sahin]

Its a nice piece to be honest. I like the growth form and colour.

Ora is based around here so that might be the reason for the difference. Even petco in Port St. Lucie carries ORA stuff, priced between 35-50 depending on how long they sit in their tanks. The colors are much deeper that what the picture shows. the growing edge looks minty green under my LEDS and the body is more golden turning into neon green. I'm happy with the purchase

Ill have my frag next week along with some other Ora frags, I will say that I'm a little disappointed with Ora lately though. Seeing there wholesale list they are not offering a fraction of what they have. I know they lost some mother colonies but I wonder why they don't replace them and grow them back out. I haven't seen Ora have pearl berry on their list in a while did they lose that colony too?

I spoke to one of the sales people a few weeks ago and he said that they moved a lot of stuff into a new location and many of the corals didnt fare well and browned out and stopped growing, Pearlberry being one of them (I asked specifically about that one). He said they were in the process of changing water supplies in the hopes that it would get the corals back to their former glory.
