FS: Colony of Not-ORA Green Birdsnest $100 - Burnaby

Yeah, that pale color is a mystery. It should be bright green with a brown base. And especially if it seems to grow well. Must be missing something, whether a mineral, a nutrient, light, symbiotic algae, or what?...

Shape and density of the branches look good. So if it brightens up in someone else tank, and at that size, they would have quite the show piece.

When I sold off the colonies out of my 90 most of them sold for $100 or less. Looking back, I should have fragged them and made more money, but I didn't have the heart to hack them up. I had some really sweet pieces. If you get the right person walking by that really wants that coral you'll get the price, but those chances are slim - especially when it's browned out. Personally, I would never buy a colony because the growth pattern will change when it's moved to a new tank and it will look funny.

Thanks Mindy
Guess I'll just have to sit on it and see if it changes in the frag tank.

I just talked to Rich, whom I bought the frag from. He thinks it is NOT an ORA. Explains the lack of neon green, and the brown-ness.
So with that in mind, and in light of recent discussions, Imma gonna drop my price to $100
I want to get this big boy outta my frag tank so I can do other things with it.

Maybe this is a better shot
Not the current size, but a better representation of the color
Note that my camera can't handle all the bright light, so some is washed out
