2nd one is definetly a purple pillow. You have to look at the coloration. I can see how it can be thought of as a turaki though. I have a large colony that originally came from ORA.

Funny how no one agreed with me :lol:

[PUGroyale]

I'll agree with you :D

P.S. I was wrong on the Aims link :( Got the ladies mixed up... The PP is thought likely to be a jacquelineae not a caroliniana...

i think that the 2ed is a turaki and was talking to chris and kris @ reefermadness and we all agreed but the growth pattern is different. all that we could come up with is his flow pattern. but we could be wrong.

Well you can compare it to this macro. This is the ora purple pillow under xm 10k. His does look more actinic based. This is 100% from ora as the frag of this was directly from them. I got the underside of part of the branch and the top of the frag on the left. This colony is now about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. It's getting really big.
