ORA Red Planet

[OneReef]

Seems this coral has always been pretty popular. Its one of my favorites. I love the red and green combo colors. It seems to be scarce over the past year. I know ORA had some issues with their mother colony. I hope its back in full production again. Anyways, I have recently acquired a good sized little mini colony from pensfan05. Actually, his big colony used to be mine from my old tank before I sold it to him. He was nice enough to return some of it to me. I plan on growing it out to a big huge colony. It is a pretty fast grower. I found some old pictures of the original colony that seems to be supplying most of Memphis, lol.

This was progression over about a years time:

Some growth:

a little more:

About the size when I sold it:

Looking forward to growing out some of this again back to its glory. Thanks to Chris for keeping this coral going.

And this is the new piece in my tank that is going to become a masterful colony:
