[Fishon]

^^^^Yes me too but I had it in a system that should never of had acros, so I feel like a never gave it a chance. If there is anyone else out there with photos of there angry B. Please post it.

oh ok so yours did have red PE. so it is still on my wanted list then.

Here's mine.

Was very hairy as a frag but seemed to have separated a bit. Still really hairy though.

When I first got it - it was brown and green.

^^^ yours looks like a different coral then mine, was it from RR? It looks like it's growing well though.

Yeah but its still one of my fav. pieces so I am happy

I got it from a well-known LFS in San Diego. I was told it was it. I would never resell it as a RR Angry Bird though because the coloration either changed or is a diff. coral. Luckily I got it for a steal.

Yea I bought mine from Rr during the live sale, hopefully mine will eventually be that size and we can compare. yours seems to be happy though!

 

[SchnitzelReef]

None of the frags look anything like the original picture Bummer

 

[jcdeng]

any of you know if RR Asia, canada and usa are all under 1 company? if so can we get RR asia/canada corals through RR USA?

Nice! I have no doubts yours is the real deal then.

I like going to various LFS and buying no named corals that are small frags. I ended up getting a $5 dollar frag of this small encrusting frag. Years later, it has been verified as a Miyagi Tort.

That's not the original RR USA Angry Bird. I got a frag from Tony last month and it's similar to the OP frag. Body is very nice blue but the polyp is not that bright red yet. I was told the tank holing the mother colony crashed so it's color suffered a bit.

Ah thats unfortunate about the mother. Yeah I only paid $40 for the frag so I did not believe the LFS when he told me about it being a true RR Angry Bird.

Post up a pic if you can.

 

[ERIC1975]

Yeah if it's $40 then I guess it's too cheap to be true LOL. The real one would have cost way more I'll break out my zoom lens this week to snap some pics.
But I did see the mother colony earlier this year when Tony first got it in and it was beautiful with bright red polyps and bright blue base!

Yep exactly lol. I spent a good chunk of money when I was in San Diego so I think he may have been super excited and started rambling. If you ever decide to frag yours, let me know

No they are not. RR USA is on its own while Canada/Asia are the same.

 

[jcdeng]

wish I can bring corals across the boarder... I go to toronto quite often and RR Canada is right there.

i went on the reef raft site but it had a different picture than yours. non the less that piece on that site looks good.

 

[fishboys]

I am aware of how old this thread is. Still I would like to see any larger angry birds if any of you have them. Thank you.

Here is my updated photo
Been a long while

 

[Fishon]

The polyps are actually starting to turn red, they have been almost a pearlescent like for a long time. I also took a frag and have put it in higher light just to see what would happen.
