Fully healed Navy Tort Colony-- $210 shipped
This is a very thick branched massive piece. The branch diameter is easily 5/8"

You also have the option of adding some other frags from my Sps collection if you wish as the box will have room for 4-5 frags. Inquire for the list if this interests you.

It's 100% a tort........I've shapped, fragged and thinned it out over 6 years. It's been split twice as well.
 
This is a current shot I took a few days ago. I've fragged the top and sides and wanted to leave the branch on the right to grow out for something different. Below that is when I first got it 12 years ago as it first started to grow out. I've grown it into full colonies twice.......... the current colony was a 2" frag from the original.

I got a nice big piece from Big E and its a stunner!!! I've been having people over and they say it looks just like an Oregon Tort. It's sits right below my Oregon and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. No Green or other colors at all.... even the polyps are very similar. Oregons have that marshmallow blue hue looking tone to them and this one is exactly like it with similar structure. Don't forget to ask for his other list of corals as well. I got about 20+ others one and they are all holding color and doing well. Not a sales pitch but the real deal yall!!! This piece is perfect collection of SPS!
 
What is the red with green polyped acropora to the left in the third picture?
 
Just lost my tort colony so I'm interested . How do I check what other corals you have

Here's a new shot today . I have the branch leaning up against the colony. There are now about 9-10 buds at the tips ready to bust out

I've had a few people wanting me to cut this up, but I'd like to run it a little longer. This is just too nice to cut up right now.

I do have a few smaller sized large pieces of this as well.
 
The Navy Tort colony is sold.........if anyone is interested in some smaller sizes I have them available at various prices.

Pm for more info or if you just have an interest in a customized Sps pack to go with it.
