Okay, so the SPS I'm looking for

[gflat65]

Just looking for one that I lost in the AEFW incident of 2006. It is the ORA Marshall Island Purpletip Bottlebrush. It is the one I miss the most that I haven't been able to get back. Here are two pics before coloring up and after coloring up. I believe it to be A. tenius.

Edit-Apparently, RC doesn't allow hot links...

I have 4 different colonies tha look like that.

here is one I not sure if it is a Tenius or Cerealis.SueT from Houston has one from ORA and I sold her a frag of mine and you can't tell them apart.

Lemme see, Rev .

Randy, that one looks more like a cerealis. the coralites are more rounded, where the tenius tend to flare a little (you can see if you look closely best in the first pic). Nice color, though. I just cleared the LPS and zoas from my 125, so it is looking bare... Need more sps, I guess .

here #2 and 3 of the 4. I had Chris @ RM ID the 3rd.So I'm 99.9% sure it is an A. tenius.The 4th looks the same as the 1st.I do have 1 more but I don't have a pic of it yet.They are all somewhat the same but different.

Now that second shot looks alot liek the one I'm looking for. You can see the progression of color. We may need to work out a trade .

Live aquaria is selling them again. It seems that ora is getting back into buisiness.
Yeah!!! They have that and the purple pillow now along with some others in their captive grown section at e tropicals.
I have a dead ringer for it if you want to trade instead of buy.
