Colour speaks to me more than lineage.

I should just work at your local UPS or something and just intercept all your outgoing shipments. Would be easier than trying to outbid folks

Not sure about a meeeeellion....but it's not a $10 frag that's for sure!

Nope - a true wicked. Nicer.

This one has some strong colour, well if purple is your think. Glad to see some Ontario folks posting. Rather than workin' on the UPS guy, if you ever make it to the Oakville area just let me know. Basement is almost finished!

There's definitely more than one of each of the "named" corals - since most corals aren't really unique specimens, just uncommon, it's not unusual to find a wild colony coming in looking exactly like a LE/Tyree/ORA/whatever coral.

Technically there is only one "Tyree Purple Monster", but it's definitely not a uniquely coloured specimen - there have been many others looking like it (or better!)

Sweet. I'll definitely take you up on that one day sooner than later.
