Adding another ORA Original Acro, Pearl Berry, one of my all time favorites. Shipped from ORA farm, purchased through LA. Was the only one in stock at double the price of their normal Acro frags. The most I’ve ever paid for a frag but was worth it. Pleased with another large multi-branch frag.

One of everyone’s favorites!

Saw that up on their site, it was quite pricey, but you know it's the real deal!
That extra might be Scripts Stag.

Really? I didn’t think ORA had or sold the PB anymore.

It’s back! But still hard to come by. There was a video released recently of a tour of their outdoor aquaculture farm and the final tank you catch a glimpse of is what appears to be an 8’x4’ raceway tank full of only pearlberry, volleyball sized colonies.

Even the red planet looks like a nice sized frag imo.

I'm still trying find someone with ora yellow tip stag. All I can find is 2 frag pics of it anywhere.

Almost two months in, how are they doing?

Not good. Nearly everything RTN’D. Possibly due to my use of Prazi-pro in the display for flukes. Not sure if it was that or not. My LPS frags are all fine. One ORA Acro is still kicking, the Laura’s Purple Polyp. Growth is slow, maybe 1mm encrusting at the base, that is it. I’ve also got a healthy Ponape birds nest that has kept its color but has seen almost zero growth.
I think the lighting from these LEDs is insufficient at their current AB+ similar settings. I was running diffusers on them, just removed the diffusers to squeeze out every bit of PAR. I’ve got only two fixtures over the tank due to the center brace blocking the middle. It definitely needs three of them.

Ouch, sorry to hear it. I’ve heard mixed results with prazipro in display tanks.

Dang that really sucks big time. I have fed food soaked in Prazipro and it had no effect on my inverts and corals. Hope you will replace them soon.

Progress pic for one of the only corals that made it from the original pack.

One month update. Just a bit more encrusted on the Laura’s Purple Polyp and some new nuns poking out. Picked up two new pieces. A strawberry shortcake and a Bali Tri color Valida.
