no- probably a guy that used to have a green millepora :lol:

I wonder if it's Nathan Padan's green mille

I think O.R.A names their stuff after workers!LOL!:lol:

Actually I believe ora did take corals from people who were allowed to to submit a name with their coral. Perhaps ORA will chime in with the origins of their green millepora. I don't know if they are still taking corals; I read about them taking corals for broodstock after the huricane in Fl many years ago.

I remember the hurricane wiping out ORA's facility.

would anybody know who made the coral donation that became known as ORA's "Red Planet"?

 

[dvanacker]

Just a guess but some guy named RED PLANET ...weird name I know.

 

[mkareef]

[NCSUsalt]

The red planet came from someone in europe according to ORA

a couple of friends of mine used to work at ora and my girlfried goes to school at harbor branch where ora is located. my buddy Chip named a coral after himself when he worked there. Hawkins is the last name of a friend of mine who is a previous emplyoee, he also has a coral. ora purchases wild piecies of coral and does a six month quarintine, then grows the coral out and the last thing they do is name it before they sell it. I have been to the facility and viewed the whole set up it is very impressive, top notch stuff.

let me know if you want to know more...

 

[nvdiz]

I once read that hawkins came from an aquarist in Europe.

 

[reefinder]

yes, the coral was purchased in Europe but was named in the states after one of the employees. I am not sure if it was aquaculture or wild before purchase I will find that out tomorrow. a lot of ora corals are purchased from Europe.
