Oregon Tort???

Oregon Tort???

Not sure if this is Oregon, Cali, Bennet, Becker, Tyree, Walmart, or something else. I acquired this over a year ago from someone getting out of the hobby, and he had received it from Scott Berman. I was told at the time it was an original tort that Scott had kept several years but that's all I know. Kind of like saying you own a purebred AKC but lost the papers :p

Anyone want to chime in on what they think this may be?

Travis from Upscales in Oregon visited our store today. He mentioned that the OT originated from him. The guy sure does know his stuff. Very dedicated and knowlegeable hobbyist. I enjoyed there company as well as Ming, Joleen and Tim from Atlantis Aquarium. They're so cool. Man he has some nice stuff. I couldn't resist :) Everyone was in town for yesterdays Southwesterm Coral Farmers Market. It was a pleasure to have them visit. Looking forward to my road trip up there in April. I need to travel more:eek2: Sorry for going off track here..:)
 
Yea Travis is great, nice guy and really cool about helping you out when needed. Well after I posted about not having deep enough pockets to get one I was in Upscales and Travis had some smaller than normal frags for a smaller price and I couldn't refuse. Had to have one and it's doing well. Had it for a few months.

Eric are you refering to coming up here to Oregon? If so let us know and maybe you will be here during one of our club meetings.

When I got it (9-05, for reference the clear cube it is on fits into eggcrate)...........

Yes that would be nice. I am hoping sometime in May when my employee is back from leave. Send me an email of your club meeting schedule and I'll try and plan at for that weekend. I plan on going for 3 days. Plenty of stops to make :)

I agree. I have seen many Bali acros and have never seen any other wild or aquacultured acro that resembles the Oregon tort. The color is just outstanding.


The very 1st pic you posted of a tort (pic on the left of my blue stag horn) .... I have that and it is an aquacultured piece from bali. I have 2 others dark purple /blue; of which one is pictured on the right of my staghorn.

chtan- no, i'm almost totally certain that's a nice hoeksemai. check and see if it has a neon green ring around some of the corallite openings where the polyps come out from.
