Purple corals are also something you may want to look into as well

Here's a few that are my favorite blues---

Navy Blue Tort--

I've never even heard of or seen any coral called a "Navy blue tort". Where did this piece come from and how long has it been around?

I got this frag from Adam BC and it’s bluer than my Oregon Tort and Sniper. Believe it’s called Shockwave. Really nice one.

Interesting. I have this piece as well and find it to be quite a dark and vibrant purple.

I did have another on from BC (but I don't know that it was his specifically) names the "Blue Matrix". That thing was a crazy blue! Unfortunately I killed it and last I asked him he didn't have. Look it up, it's a stunner.

It's a tort I bought way back in 2003...........was sold as a Oregon Tort which it wasn't. It has a very deep blue color through out it's body as well as the polyps.

I named it Big E Navy Blue Tort because it's not the same and an original.

Paletta Blue is another very blue acro with deep iridescent highlights. I haven't seen another as blue, even Oregon Tort's.

Wow, that's truly old school..........I remember that coral way back when Garf introduced it and very few acros were around to buy at that time.
