I think I have a book somewhere identifying these. Each of you send me a frag and I'll figure what's what. Ok? Good. Thanks. PM for address.

Actually the guy who created oracorals.com is not affiliated with ORA at all.

Mine came on a black plug with the acronym ORA on it. Your not going to get me to second guess what mine is.

I never meant to offend.

Is yours from Sean, Doug? That's where I got mine. His colony is gorgeous! Mine has a long way to go obviously in size but colour too.

I've always called mine "pearlberry-ish", I know its not quite the same as the ORA version but it is still pretty nice. My colony originated from a frag I got from Anthony (fooser) a few years ago.

Here is an old top down shot of it. It is much larger than this now.

Gorgeous coral! Same colors as a Pearlberry, but different structure.

Very nice Sean, that grew gorgeously for you. I had only ever fragged that colony twice and I am glad you got one of them. Pearlberry-ish is right, I have since started to wonder as well when I came across another pearlberry that had the exact same coloration but different growth (which I picked up of course). The second one I have now has more rounded tips, and much slower growing (and far more finicky). My first one was bigger than a basketball before I hacked it apart.....now its almost a volleyball again, bullet proof coral.

I would like to check out your tank in person one day Sean, you look like you have had some explosive growth and colors.
