Tort ???

[Reef lvr]

I have been eyeing this one up for a while, went through a rough time in a tank move so thats how i picked it up, very cheap.. It looks purple in pic, but is very blue, new growth is a very vibrant blue.. Just wondering if anyone can tell the species of acro it is, if not i will work on a better pic..Dont like to move just for a pic, so i had to zoom, kinda set it and forget it!

looks like a Oregon tort to me..... althou there seems to be a few strains imho i have another Oregon tort that is way different its almost a deepwater acro but the brightest most intense blue you have ever seen....

With my limited SPS ID ability I would say it looks like a Tort to me as well, hard to tell with the pic though.

I can't get a good pic to save my life.. It's still has some brown, but the blue is returning more every day! I watched this grow in buddys tank for 1.5 yrs, so i know it was solid blue.. I will update in week or two, hopefully it looks a lot better then!

from your last pic i would say its not a tort.... looks more like a tenius to me....

There is no way that is a tenuis,I doubt it's a tort either.I don't know what it is but it isn't a tort or tenuis.

Not a tort IMO, I'd check Divers den and see if they have a similar acro. It looks like many of the corals I've seen listed there, some of which were called tenuis but almost looked like they had a milli structure to'em.
