John, yours looks more like mine...Perhaps it does vary signficantly pending how much light/nutrients you have.

supervdl · #29 02/02/2007, 02:19 PM

Ora Chips is just a great coral.

Nice pic's everyone. Keep them coming.

bigt, it looks like you have a nice ORA farm going there. I have a feeling I will be in the same boat soon.

I had a nice sized ORA chip's acropora that was around 8'' big, but it bleached when I tired adding it to my new tank. I was very angry! It was my favorite piece. It grew out enough for me to get a look at how it grows. Mine grew almost like a table, but a little different. I believe the actual species is A. horrida.

Very sad

. Do you have any pictures of it in its glory??

Here is mine from Fishdoc..

jer77 · #38 02/04/2007, 03:03 PM

I'll try and look through my many cd's full of pics to see. I just recently started to get a handle of taking pics so it might be a bad pic. So sad, I grew it from a 1'' frag too. It changed color to an almost lime green with purple tips.

acrodave · #39 02/04/2007, 05:03 PM

i have one also and what is the growth of it table, stag ect

jer77 · #40 02/04/2007, 05:31 PM

Thats what where trying to figure out. I believe they grow bushy or irregular. Though mine had the look of a table and color similar to Horace's on the first page.

jer77 · #41 02/04/2007, 05:34 PM

Here's a bad pic of mine when it was still a frag. The polyps were not out fully because I just moved it before I took the pic. The pic was taken just under actinic lighting, thats why its soooo blue.

flyingphish · #42 04/11/2007, 11:43 PM

i just got my ora chips today.

put it next to my ora tort.

can barely tell the difference. the chips polyps are more brown. the tort more green. both bodies are green and blue...

KEEPERZ · #43 04/12/2007, 12:43 AM

Here's my ORA chips-furry thing

Satori · #44 04/12/2007, 07:47 AM

Mine started out looking like the photo from the OP, then it went through a pastel phase (my avatar is the chips from that stage), now it looks like KEEPERZ above. It has always been super fuzzy, but the polyps were pulled in when I got the avatar pic.

twon8 · #45 04/12/2007, 10:20 AM

far right of this pic, it has a blue base, purple tips and grey/white polyps

taekim78 · #46 04/12/2007, 10:28 AM

Where did you guy get your chips from?

twon8 · #47 04/12/2007, 10:36 AM

I have the ORA Chips and the ORA tort and although they are both green, the Chips is infact greener. Definately different looking species. Tort has sparser polyps whereas the Chips is covered in them.

SOULEMAN · #49 04/12/2007, 01:29 PM

here's mine,

Horace · #50 04/12/2007, 02:21 PM

Yeah, the more pics I see of the ORA chips, the more I am convinced, I have a different strain. It may be of the same species, but certainly a bit different. It seems the norm on this coral is brown/tan polyps. The polyps on mine are like LIME green, and it def grows in a table fashion just like the picture shows on page 1. This coral is a FAST grower too
