i would say LiveAquaria

I bleed orange and maroon
liveaquaria would be a good place, but they seem kinda expensive...
i can also get most of them for you. my LFS has tons of ORA stuff that no one seems to buy for some reason.

what is the general ballpark for their ORA sps these days?

depends on what it is...but generally $20-$60 a frag if most LFS mark them up about the same price.
if you know of something specific i can probably give you a better estimate.

i know, i was just thinking about that when i saw this thread.
and last time i visited the LFS...i did see one, and that new roscoe tort i think (or it may have been a chips).
if you still want me to get it for you let me know, i can get it this weekend if its still there and then send it to you wed/thurs of next week. send me a PM and we'll talk.

ORA is the Aquaculture side of Harbor Branch Institute here in Florida CN. They do loads of clownfish and dottybacks, and some really nice corals.

And those lookig for some ORA sps, obviously check the sponsors here, but if they are out, I can highly recommend Billy at Riptides Reef. He has multi generational ORA stock, and has a few of the blue polyps acros in. Good guy, nice company....we should see if he'll sponsor
Hope that helps the hunt, Bryan

german blue polyped acro, roscoe tort, the new purple birdsnest, purple pillow, oregon tort.
you dont start with the easy to get stuff do you? lol
the german blue polyped acro is available in limited quantities from ORA...so kinda hard to get ahold of.
roscoes is much more limited, and even harder to get ahold of. i think they are limiting 1 frag per shipment to a LFS. IF your LFS is lucky enough to even get a shipment.
new purple birdsnest from ORA shouldn't be too hard to find, i think liveaquaria has it.
purple pillow is ultra rare to find, ORA lost it in a hurricane, they are re-growing it, but have not released it yet.
i've heard they have an oregon tort and are growing it, but again have not released it.

scripps pink milli (kind of a blue with green polyps and pink tips), it varies in color alot depending on the conditions
this is the purple pillow, its not purple, its green...lol but the tips get purple when its happy.

ORA has stuff other than sps. apparently they used to have alot of wicked zoas before the hurricane whiped them out.
they are actually selling propagated duncans right now too, in limited quantities...awesome looking and about $70/polyp i think, alot cheaper than some are selling them right now.
they also sell alot of random, un-named SPS, tricolors etc. they used to have a ton of propagated colonies with acro crabs breading in their systems.
