New ORA corals?

[paintballer768]

I went to the LFS and saw some beauties I never knew existed!!! Supernatural capricornis, Red planet table, plum crazy, purple something, pearlberry, blue voodoo, and verde acro. Whats your favorite, and does anyone have pics of these in your tank??

Here is Pearlberry. Always keep in mind that the LFS will change the name of something alot of times so that they can tell you it is, "SUPER FREAKEN RARE HOLY CRAP DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE BUY IT NOW. IN FACT BUY ALL THE STOCK WE HAVE WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I know their names are right....at least on the ORA ones....cuz Google confirmed em, but man oh man some of those are lookin really nice. The Verde Acro looked pretty cool, and the Red Planet Tabling Acro would have been mine if it doesnt table.

Yea theyre really tight. Anyone have any of these? Do they hold color? Hardiness?

They have a very nice selection of ORA corals for a pretty decent price.
One of the ones you listed is Purple Plasma. All very very nice sps!!

Ive seen Oceans Below have a huge selection and Barrier Reef in Boca Raton just started. BR had the blue voodoo, plum crazy, verde, and red planet last time I was there. They were all $60 a piece, and the verde was the biggest frag and it cost $30.

I have an acropora enchinata from ora, it was brown when I got it and now... its a serious wow.

many of my sps are from Oceans Below, but they dont carry ORA. They are all wild caught, but you get colonies not just frags. Very healthy and never had a problem with them. Well I did get a bad acro crab on my slimer, but Ive also gotten two good acro crabs with my colonies.
Ill have to check out Barrier Reef, never made it down there and heard great things about them.

the plum crazy acro on here is my fave!

 

[paintballer768]

All the ORA pieces are amazing. If the SPS I have now take off and do well, I may invest in some nice ones.

Good to know, I thought OB had the ORA pieces, but regardless theyre very nice! Barrier Reef is alright, not too great for SPS, besides those 3 pieces I listed. Everything else has at least 1 spot of bleaching on it Id say. Lots of cool pieces though in the display tank, which cost a kidney

I have a couple ORA pieces and they are nice. That said, I think a lot of the Bali Aquacultured corals are as nice, if not nicer and because they don't have the ORA tag they are a lot less expensive. I actually hate all the LE names people give corals just to bump the price up.
To answer the question, Miami Orchad Stag is my favorite ORA coral.

 

[cherish life.]

the names arent the things that bump the price tag up....it depends on coral growth and availability..

You can believe that if you wish but we all know that anything with LE will be $$$$.

Well, when you put a lot of effort into creating corals that are hardy and fast growing and very colorful, and don't require harvesting another colony out of the ocean...
