WWC Blueberry vs. RR The Vinh

[Sweet Reef Corals]

Just wondering what others' thoughts are on this..... Are these the same coral?? I have the WWC Blueberry and was interested in getting the RR The Vinh because most of the pictures online show bright white to light green branches that I don't see in the Blueberry. A fellow veteran SPS keeper stated that they are the same coral....

Those and the RR Grape Juice all look too similar to me to have each. I have a big colony of grape juice and a small frag of the WWC Blueberry and will compare them once the BB grows out.

Very similar for sure. They appear to be the same Nasuta species but maybe just different variants. I have all of the following and they all look very similar. Especially due to the blue polyps. Tissue seems to vary under different lighting and nutrient conditions from white/opaque to green/blue/teal. Hard to say for sure since most vendors put their name on other vendors corals at times or they bring them in from the same regions and collectors.

Blueberry Diesel

I have had a handful of these and some of them are a bit different, but mostly look the same.

Gonzo's Blueberry Diesel is the best, IMO, with the whitest branches and greatest contrast.

They are all so similar that if you do not have the room to "collect," then just pick one, IMO.

The BC Grape Juice was on my list. Is it similar to the RR Grape Juice?

Great tip. I'll look into this one! Thanks

They are all very similar or just the same coral to me... I think if you picked one you would be happy.
I also sell the WWC aqua delight and it looks like its also the same coral at least to me...

You will also see a lighter branch color in lower N/P tank with higher light

The bc gj is the same as the rr. I got mine from Adam.

Is this the WWC Aqua Delight you pictured?

Yes it is. A colony from my frag tank

I definitely like that piece better than my WWC Blueberry. I'm just not a fan of my Blueberry's tan/green skin. I probably should try moving him to higher PAR. I like to keep my PO4=.08-.12 and NO3=5-10

Does this look similar?

I am not able to tell them apart. Have both but I don’t know which is which anymore. Right now it is prime coloration for which has been tuff to maintain over the years. It is easy to keep but browns out easy. So thought it was good time to take video and pic. This was actually a frag that I made back in December that never sold before I closed for spring/summer break so has gotten quite large
