To be honest I don't think there is much if any of the OG OC left in circulation, most are knock-offs.
Ya, I havent done my research to even know where the first person to name one that came from, and how many were distributed and to whom. I got mine from Rob aka Jusreefin a few years back, I think you may know him

Any old salts have the lowdown on the history? Would be interesting to hear and have always wondered, even moreso with these threads and the recent flood.
Btw, I dont mean to keep bumpin heads but I really do believe that the OC is NOT an ech, but a subechinata. What throws me for a loop though is Verons description of them both. The skeletal pics match the OC imo, but when he describes echinatas he says they appear more fleshy in appearance

While to me, and the three morphs I have of echinatas, they do not look more fleshy than the OC IMO, but more skeletal. And then he goes on to say how the echs show concentric folds while the subs do not, but in the pics of the subs everyone has concentric folds! And in the pic of the echs only 1 shows concentric folds!!
I dunno, guess it doesnt even matter, really
Nevermind!

Would still like to hear some history, if anyone knows though.
