Post your Oregon torts!

[Maximus]

That's the beauty of my tank. All those frags you see are not mounted on the main rocks. I can move the frags at will.

Maximus, that is pretty much what I do in my tank too. Except I do mount my frag mounts so the snails won't knock them over. I prefer to let my frags grow out a bit before I decide on a permanent placement. That way you know what they will look like long term so you know where they will look good and what corals will look good next to each other, ie. placing a green next to a pink and also next to a blue to enhance the aesthetic look of each coral. Kind of a way of creating art, IMO.

guys, i think it time to see some updates... How long it been, 7 months? You should all have at atleast mini-colony, now...

 

[dkle]

Well, here is a pic of mine. I got it from Jim at Rainbowcorals. Took the longest time to settle in (the fact that it got stung by a millipora didn't help either), but finally is growing at a good rate and maintaining a stunning color

Received this TORT from Waynesreef who got it from Brezzebabe.
Not sure what type of TORT this is-

After looking around at some sites the TORT I have looks like the Becker Acropora Tortosa( Tyree Limited Edition) .

Mine:

Becker(From atlantisaquarium.net ) :

What do you guys think?

 

[DarkXerox]

I thought that the torts with the greenish base were Cali/ORA torts? I remember seeing pictures of the Becker tort and it had more of a lightish blue base with very little green. There should be pics on reeffarmer.com

 

[minimalist]

I have two. The first was sold to me as a Cali tort and the other as an Oregon tort.
