I gotta agree with you. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I honestly think many of the ORA pieces are nicer.

The pics are nice of the fuego but I have yet to see one in person.from the pics I see here it really doesn't look any nicer than the ATL maribalis or ORA red planet.I do think a lot of the vendors pics of it are altered in some way.the only pic I saw that I think truly represents the fuego is from WWC and there pic looks similar to the red planet.I guess to each there own and if you think it's worth the price tag then buy it.I for one will just get another red planet once my tank is running and be happy.now maybe if I saw it in person and was wowed by it I would get it but that's just me.

This is what I'm talking about,that frag looks just like a red planet.obviously it could change color down the road when it's older but it us too similar to the RP for me to justify the cost.this thread is good though since we the consumer gets to see actual pics from hobbyists that aren't altered.I'd really like to see more pics of larger frags/mini-colonies and see how they look.BTW does anyone know if it's a table acro or just a branching acro?The only pics I have seen other than the ones in this thread are from vendors and none of them were true colonies,so you can't tell if it's a table or not.
wasn't this originally an oculus coral?

One major difference I've noticed in comparison to the RP is that is retains the green base regardless of lighting. I've got my frag fairly high in the tank where it's being blasted by light and it still has a vibrant green base along with red polyps. My RP is about 6-8 inches lower and the lighting is intense enought that it has very little green except for around the base.

I believe your correct. It's a nice looking acro. Not the same as a RP.

The color is much more neon pink than the red planet. And the green does stay in higher lighting conditions. I don't think that it tables out, but could as it matures into a larger colony. Still similar to the red planet and raspberry limeade hyacinthys.
