ORA Borealis Acropora

[paintballer768]

ORA's new release this month... this was taken from RC

ORA BOREALIS ACROPORA

This new release is named after the spectacular phenomenon, known as Aurora Borealis. It’s unique coloration morphs from a lime green base to electric blue tips. The ORA Borealis truly stands out even among our most colorful corals.

The polyps are expansive and range from green to yellow under varied lighting conditions. The growth pattern is also quite unique; it tends to grow many short branches in tight form with lots of polyps which gives it a bushy appearance. The bright blue and green base cuts through the polyps giving it an electric glow that really sets this coral apart from other types of blue and green acropora available.

Strong intermittent current and high output lighting are suggested to maintain natural growth, good polyp extension and dazzling color.

[reefboy]

soon as I can talk my local friend into buying half the fish I'll order one lol.

 

[paintballer768]

Woahhh the Bellina is so awesome. Add that one to my list haha.

Everytime you order from ORA, you need to get like $200-$300 in fish too? I thought that was like a 1 time thing.

 

[reefboy]

no every time you have to buy a min 200 in fish and specialty items like snowflakes and such dont count lol luckely I have a friend with a local shop who helps buy lol.

I saw it on this weeks ORA price list but the picture provided by Jeff is the first time I have seen it. Looks great! But, I rarely purchase from ORA any longer due to the fact 200.00 in fish has to be purchased first..........

Yep its a toughy. I know of a few vendors that split the costs with other stores/vendors which I would imagine helps a lot.

 

[Reef Pets]

That would help out. There are no other ORA dealers in my area. All that can be found in this area is the extremly common coral, breached SPS or dead SPS. Once I become a sponsor of the site maybe I can pre-sell the fish at a great price just so that I can get the coral.
