ORA Crazy!

[Cichlid-Man]

Man you should of seen the display. I hit up an LFS out of town in Charlotte.....omg. I should of brought a drool cloth. I saw that Milli and instantly knew i was gonna get that one it was hands down the best looking milli i've seen. It looks blue there but has a real nice rainbow tint going on to it. Then it was a matter of what else....decided on a Purple polyp Monti Digita. Simple easy SPS that looks great. I'll get pics up later.

I need to win the lotto so i can buy that whole LFS frag display out!

Nice find! My tri color acro is back to life and looking awsome!! I didn't have my heater turned up high enough a few months ago my tank got down to like 70 and normally its about 80-82.. it did this for 2 nights and my acro was almost bleached.. Its got a awsome color to it, way better then when i found it!

Nice Jim! Is it a ORA Tri Color? Any pics of it?

Since dosing Vitamin C in my tank my Tri Color has actually lost color, trying to bring it back.

[zoalover34]

Nice, in the last shot you can see the purple coming back. Polyps look pretty healthy.

Thanks, in the last week the brown has came back, it was almost all the way white! My birdsnest isnt doin so hot since i moved it. I think im gonna put it back in the flow

Heres the other piece i got. I need to start building my green collection. Anyone have Bali Green Slimer?!

ORA Purple Monti, big "frag"!

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Make that 7 types of ORA in my collection. Went to the LFS today to check on the Acan frag that the owner is supposed to be getting for me (bought a nice colony and fragged it and offered polyps as like a "pre-order"). Well the Acan was still healing so i just browsed for a while not intending to buy anything. Saw this very branchy big ORA green Birdsnest....$10 for sitting in the store so long and not being bought. I had to.

Pics to come!

I can't pass up $10 frags....

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Cool thing is i could probably get 2 $10 frags off this frag and still have some for myself haha. Its a mini colony.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Here it is about to go into the tank. More to come.

 

[skratikans]

I try my best.

Not a great pic, but here it is in the tank. Look at my baby mushroom, courtesy of Vitamin C! Also a GSP frag and the ORA Purple Monti Digita.

 

[jumpfreak26]

that looks nice, but it doesnt look like a typical birdsnest, most are pointy right?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

There are two types. Seriatopora hystrix which is the sharper tipped variety and then the Seriatopora guttatus which is what the green birdsnest is. I want some S Hystrix, good looking stuff when it grows into colony size.

I believe TRe has some hystrix of a certain color.
