A couple new, yet to be named ORA corals I just picked up
I just scored these from my local LFS(Puppy Center in WH for you locals). He must be in ORA's good graces. For now one is called purple birds nest, the other blue stag I think. Both of these photos where taken minutes in the tank after spending all day in the bag, then going through my dip regement. I have high hopes for both pieces. As always my photos do nothing for the corals. The bird has real purple polyps! I am hoping Dustin can chime in with some history. From what I understand he picked up both in Germany at the same time he picked up the German blue polyp acro.

That second one is the ORA Tort. Its not the same as the Cali tort.

I thought the ORA was the Cali tort, but not the OR tort.

I have second one and it was labeled as a Tort. Thats what the label from ORA said. My LFS ordered 5 of them. They were all label that.
either its a mistake or its a different tort. Scott

the right coral looks to be a chips acro. I dont think its a tort by the way its shaped.I have both coral tort and chips in my tank.

Steve, I picked up the same birdnest from Dustin at MACNA. It's a killer piece. I'm not sure about the 2nd coral, but definitely doesn't look like ORA tort. It looks like this blue ORA coral that I got from Dustin also. Both pieces have not been released by ORA. Nice score!

Thanks Rob. Thats a great pic of the bird, thats more what it looks like. I actually just dug up the bag that the "tort" was in. It never made it out of the bag, so it was still in the original ORA bag. It was labeled GRA. Not sure where I got stag from, as its clearly not. But I can tell you its a not a chips or an ORA tort

Well LMK what it is as I have the same one. I bought it with a large ORA order. I got the
Scripps milli GBBP Green fuzzy Marshall island Dersa Clam And that one. It wasn't something I ordered but rather a bonus. It was at the LFS...My credit card was burning so I bought. My LFS showed me the bag and it looks like the coral you had so...I would like to know what it is Scott

The one on the right is 100% not Chips. This I think we all know, but I am gonna confirm it anyways. I thought it was a Tort too, but you are looking at in person so I defer.
Nice stuff reef daddy. |

is this it? [not my pics]
if so i got a piece of it from someone who got it from someone who got it from ora a while ago; he thought it might be purple pillow or the ora tort, but it is obviously something different

Who cares what it is? It isnt even released yet, instead of arguing about what it is we should start working on a name. I hope ORA doesnt disapprove. LOL Im going to be on the lookout for one at my areas frag swap Saturday.

twon8- that sure looks like it.
Serioussnaps- My thinking exactly. I vote the birdsnest is named the RUBBAGAGOW Bird. RUBBAGAGOW are you out there? Dustin?
