Wait, you mean there are no more true oregon torts left in the ocean? :sad2: They must be extinct along with the black percula...
Seriously though, ther are several color and growth variations of SSC that are a dime a dozen, so your comparison doesn't make much sense. Also, this coral is highly variable in appearance depending on conditions, moreso than many common named corals in the hobby. So, this TRUE strawberry shortcake stuff from you looking at some pics doesn't make much sense.

Lastly, oregon tort has an interesting story and a long history of being cultured. Strawberry Shortcake is what someone decided to call some frags from one of thousands of colonies that have been imported since Aussie SPS corals started getting imported.
It's like a zoanthid collector telling someone with eagle eyes that they don't have the true eagle eyes...

The difference is strawberry short cake is just a wild microlados that people call by the name of SSC. It's very common and east to acquire.
They are not importing the oregon tort anymore. Infact the oregon tort came in ONE shipment and never again. It all started from one colony that spread through out the country. Ora got there's from oregon, people in newyork got there's from oregon...unless it came from oregon it is not true linage.

I went to a local wholesaler that I was turned onto and he had an SSC the size of a dinner plate. He also had three others and a bunch of frags. He also had something called blueberry SSC that was smoking. I didn't buy them because I picked up two other colony's that I had to have. I will try and post a picture of it later tomorrow few aging incredible. It's really not rare anymore that's for sure.
