Oregon Blue Tort

[Stpatrick]

I received my new camera from ladyreefer1983 today and thought I would play with it a bit. This is one of my favorite new corals I got from SDguy here in San Diego. Thank you SDguy. Awesome camera & coral. I need a better lens and I am set.

I hear they grow slow everywhere else

Ya it's an Oregon thing. Better air up here or something:bigsmile:

Strange. Always thought it loved light and was a slow grower but an Oregon Tort colony at my lfs is growing fast under moderate lighting. Must be a direct lineage colony

Glad you like it Patrick. Ask Jason142 about how slow his OT grew that he got from me... :wink:

Oh, BTW, here are those progression shots I was telling you about...

10-14-07 (after dropping through two different euphyllia, and coming to rest on a sinularia. Note the dead upper half... it was a nice double branch frag)

Awesome. 2 years. Great pics. I will also take some progression shots to track the rate of growth.

Patrick nice pickup from Peter. One of my favorite SPS. Just wish mine didn't RTN after I got it. Peter let me know when you make some frags again so I can replace mine.
