I'm hooked on the O.R.A corals. Pic of new ORA blue Mille

A couple of weeks ago I added my 1st ORA coral and decided on a Chips Acro. A few days ago I added my 2nd ORA coral and added a blue Mille. Here is a pic from today of the blue Mille added this past Friday ( Needs to color quite a bit but it is healthy).

The photos were only cropped and not color adjusted/shopped.

Thanks for looking. I think I have my sights set on an ORA blue Tort next.

The ora blue tort is a real fast grower, it will grow from a frag to a 2.5 -3.0 inch colony in 6 months. Highly recommend

There is also one I just picked up last month called Lavender tip, Yea real manly. It is nice also.

I have a 8 inch blue tort along with many ORA corals blue / rose and green millis. green birdsnest - miami orchad - german blue - orange digi - chips - yellow fuzzy - purple tip - delicate stag - 3 duncans green and yellow damicornis and maybe others. This week (friday) I am getting 2 of there milkyway clams (black & white) to go with my derasas - squamosas and ultra maximas. Guess the wife and I like ORA as well .

I am just getting into SPS's, I was looking at all the ORA stuff from liveaquaria and extreme coral, would you recommend going with ORA frags starting off a SPS tank? I have a Stag, monty cap, and a mariculture lokanis doing great!!

ime the ora stuff grows much faster than other frags i've gotten on average; no reason not to go with ora stuff given the choice.

ask your LFS to get them in ...it will beat the "EXTREME" pricing!!!!
not to mention the shiping

They are cheaper than most of the other stores here in the Dallas area. The small blue maximas are over $100 at some the LFS.

IME the ORA stuff grows better than average, heck how could they aquaculture the stuff if it didn't. It also colors up consistently in a variety of conditions. You can't for wrong. If my tank was smaller it would be all ORA!
