New ORA Granulosa!
 

Well i am happy to say i got my hands on this coral today. The story goes as this... it is a new ORA release which is really a rerelease of an old coral that they use to have available. The hurricane destroyed the thing and now one of the volunteers at ORA has regrown it and right now there is a very limited supply of these. It is being called ORA Phil's Green Granulosa. Here are some pics :)
Anyone else hear about this yet?

looks good to me. what lighting is it under? is it that green in person?

Its under the actinics and it is even greener in person! this is the nicest coral in my tank right now hands down!

Very nice.

Wow, very nice, looks even greener than my Antifreeze Tort (no idea what it is called, so thats what I call it, IDs are welcome).

Nice coral. Just doesnt look like granulosa to me.

yeah they said they werent sure if it was a granulosa. Im not to sure if it is either lol looks like some sort of deepwater acro for sure but dont know exactly what it is.

It kinda looks like a A. Suharsonoi.

Very nice color.. Just not thinking granny with that. suharsonoi more likely.

Yeah im thinking A. Suharsonoi also now that i look at it. ORA is calling it a granulosa but when i saw it i didnt think it was really a granulosa either.

mcliffy2, Very nice green was that picture messed with in any post editing programs like photoshop? The colors looks kinda whacky is it really that vibrant? very nice tort ive never seen a tort that green before!

I agree, that doesn't look like a granulosa to me either.

This is my frag when I received it from Atlantis 10 months ago. The tip looks much different-
