The purple is nice but when it was blue it looked really good.

The Roscoe's I have seen in person are really close to the ORA blue tort, but with more green to the body of the colony. Haven't seen one quite like that pictured at vividaq though.

Ive Seen A Couple Of Roscoes But I Havent Seen One Spread Out And Have Multiple Columns Coming Up Off The Top Like The Picture At Vivid. I Had Kind Of Decided Not To Get The Roscoes Since I Have A Ora Blue Tort, But The One In The Picture Looks Completely Different

I heard someone else say that too. The Blue Millepora looks more like a green one right?

My Pearlberry bleached the other day ... no reason just died. All my other corals that were on the frag rack are all fine..... no idea.

On a brighter note... my Hawkins Echinata got crazy blue going on.

FWIW......there are 2 pink jade frags sitting in our LFS for almost 2 weeks or more. they look ok, but not for $70-$100. (i think they are for $90/each).

if they were like $50...i may get one. but for anything over $70 its gotta be special.....would rather get a similar species coral like pink jade or aquadelight for that kind of price tag.

these ORA prices are just getting insane.......i have been a big fan of ORA corals in the past, but i think i'm gonna boycott them for now on. they are getting too greedy in pricing their corals.

i think you mean pearlberry. i got one for less than 60 from russellaquaculture (65-20%). i wouldn't have paid the 90 they are going for locally.

surfn · Feb 25, 2008

nice twon, i almost killed mine....lol

hence will need some time to recover and color back up. if it turns blue instead of green like when i got it....i will have no complaints.

theres something about my glue or something that is really stressing my corals out when i glue them. same super glue i've used for years.....the glue company must be using a new formulation or something.

my dustins deepwater that i almost killed is finally coloring back up and encrusting. even has a small purple tip.....yay! lol

twon8 · Feb 25, 2008

it actually looks a bit better in person, i can't capture the blue sheen
