I thought this was some crazy coloration for a Cali Tort.

I think that is the Miyagi Tort with the green base and purple coralites. I have quite a bit of it. Grows like a weed

I am pretty sure it is a Cali Tort. The original colony the frag came from was grown under t5 and you couldn’t see any green on that colony. I had very little green under LEDs until I changed to Kessil lights. Something about the point source light makes the grow more green.

Now that I have switched back to Radions, the colony is becoming more blue.

That’s a miyagi.. I have one and Cali is much more blue.. these are both miyagi.. I don’t have a good picture of the Cali.. I’ll try and get one,

Maybe. I am definitely not an expert on trade names. The ones I grow are green with purple coralites in lower light and almost solid purple with some blue in high light.

The lack of blue might be the lighting my pic was taken under. The coral is more blue in person.

I have seen miyagi tort and the coral in my tank never had miyagi tort level green. I have a frag of this growing in a friends tank where he has no green on it at all.

Cali tort will have some green on it based on lighting. Here is a link to ACI Cali Tort.

That is spot on! The coral was getting lower light under the Kessil and was shading the interiors where it turned green. It is getting more diffused light under the Radions. Now the green is vanishing and it is becoming more blue & purple.

It needs crazy amount of light. We have it on the highest point of the tank.
