Don't mean to bust your bubble but if that's suppose to be a true Cali Tort, yo've been had. Unless it's totally stressed or your photo isn't representing correctly, that there is A.formosa or A.yongei. The real thing is a deep purple/blue with a tint of green. Again no disrepect here.

I'm so jealous. It's a Cali Torte alright. It will colour up in time. I think it was a little stressed.
I have a frag that is returning to the correct colour

I don't agree you've been had but I do agree that the coral in that picture doesn't look like a typical "tort". Jamie Cross is a reliable source and most certainly knows the difference between A.tortousa & A.formosa, A.yongei, etc but that is what is looks like in the photo. The piece you're showing is awfully pale and the coralites don't look like a tort as mentioned by Kaboom. Is it possible there was a mix up somehow or just a bizzare photo? Something is not right with that being a tort, but I can't see Jamie misrepresenting what he sold you. Either way it is a nice looking coral. Just for comparison, here is my "cali tort" I bought as a 1" frag from Jamie about two years ago, notice how the coralites are a much different shape. (sorry not trying to hi-jack your thread)
