Can you show me some pics of your orange crush echinata please? I got a colony last night from a fellow reefer selling all for a move. When I looked at jendub's site her pic shows them as orange with green mouths and purple streaks. These are orange with green streaks and purple mouths. They are gorgeous, I will get a pic when the lights come up today.:cool:
 
The "original" Orange Crush echinata is ALL orange with some slight brown streaking in it here and there. The version that came shortly after, and was called "Green Mouth" Orange Crush, is the Orange with green mouth like Jens. Since then I think ALL echinatas that are primarily orange are being called Orange Crush for some reason. If they are split orange and green primarily, they are generally lumped in the 'Rainbow Echinata" group. Hope that helps.

Here is an old pic of a frag of original Orange Crush

Sweet jjmcat, do you have several or are those before and after pics? The guy who sold me this says he started with one polyp a year ago.

I was keeping it shaded because I liked the form it was taking, needed the room and it didnt seem to mind.For the last 6 months it has been getting just indirect and refracted light, however I noticed the "glow" had diminished along with the green mottling and near the newgrowth edge and have since exposed it to direct light. Great coral, I was lucky enough to have a buddy that was willing to frag a few polyps off his colony. Im having a very hard time being as inhibited and have yet to be ;)
Great addition though, dont think Ive had a visitor yet that hasnt asked about it :)
