ORA Stellar Stylophora

[reeferfoxx]

So, I noticed ORA released a "new" stylo called Stellar Stylophora. According to their website, they acquired this coral from Julian Sprung? Is this a newly released color morph or a renamed Tyree Rainbow Stylo? I'm a little confused as they look very similar?

Anyone with Tyree Rainbow Stylo want to chime in?

I have the Tyree Rainbow Stylo and this looks identical to it...

That is what I was thinking. I went ahead and ordered a frag. If it indeed has any green pigments, I'll be dissatisfied.

When did Live Aquaria just completely lose the ability to ship fish and coral?
This coral is floating above and has water below it...brilliant.

Crossing fingers...

I've read several negative reviews of their shipping recently. In all of the cases they are still covering the losses, but they don't seem to care about proper packaging.

Last two of my orders from them were credits. This coral shipped free as well... They have complete disregard to proper shipping procedures. I've seen better packaging from ebay amateurs.

well, how do the colors look in your tank?!

I'm still acclimating the frag. It was exposed to air for awhile and water temps were 68 degs.

There might be some color loss but all in all lookss healthy. I'll frag it again for rock placement later and it should settle in.

It is! Though, I think the difference in ID would that this coral doesn't show any green coloring. The "skin" is all pink. Though, not very fluorescent. The coral was moved to the rocks and is now settling in. I'll update later on. Thanks!

Very interesting, English person here, I took the pic below about an hour ago to show a mate, I was given this yesterday.
I don't understand your names for people or places it came from, I have been thinking about this for a while, just so happens I got this one yesterday!
My photography skills are ok, if I was selling a named high end sps I'd want to show good proof!?
Hope it is what you wanted, looks healthy enough after it's ordeal.
