Anyone have a melonberry montipora from ORA?

[Chris86]

hey guys,

Just wanted to see some of these grown out. Their website says it's a plating monti, but I can't find any pics of it plating.

:)

What do the frags look like?

Not sure where you found that but ORA doesn't have it.

I know the only monti that carries the name berry is the Battleberry from Adam at @Battlecorals

It's under another section for some reason. Here is the link

Looks a bit similar to this would be my guess.

I have a bunch of monti's that I obtained from a guy that was moving.
All frags are to small to frag though and I will take a peek tomorrow in the frag tank if I can find that ORA frag.

Yeah that's the ORA maricultured corals. It possibly won't look like that under reef tank lighting. The yellow will probably be green similar to the link @Highgrade posted above.

I have it but the yellow is more brownish yellow than bright yellow unfortunately. It is a fast grower.

That coral probably won't plate like a cap or traditional plate. It will have multiple different areas some will form plates and some other forms. Of course this is all dependent on light and flow.

I am confused on why mariculture coral is on their website, since they are an aquaculture site. Do they get them from marshal islands and grow them in house? Or are they grown in marshal islands and sold from there?

I have something like that. It's really nice coral.

Maybe I should frag a little of it.

Just got a frag of the ORA Melonberry. It has some wicked blue polyps!
