I am really wanted a dark blue coral.

Mine did nothing for a few months (got it last November) but is starting to encrust really fast now. It’s really hard to photograph and it looks more “neon blue” in person. This was taken under 10k lighting.

Thanks for the update, looks good!

Hopefully there will be some more updates from other reefers too

Anyone have a frag for sale by chance?

 

[CoralWealth]

[jwilson84]

Mine is nearing a 3" colony about the size of a baseball. I will probably frag it this fall - I do not like to frag until I can get 1" frags... the colonies recover faster when they are larger. The first few are spoken for. I will probably be looking to trade frags in the Spring... but I will be picky since I don't have a lot of room.

...sorry, no picture.

I'll hit you up in the Spring sir. May have some frags you'll be interested in. Well done!

Very nice!

Who did it get it from? I am still waiting to see some of the ones bought before that I am sure have grown a good amount.

I would like to see this frag next to an Oregon tort for a real comparison.

Post #38 and #61 in this thread have some from Boom and Ty. This coral is way more blue than the OBT. The closest blue are the very tips of a GOOD Ice Fire (like the Tyree version), but it is still not as blue.

I ended losing this piece in a nightmare of an issue that took out 60 plus pieces. I’m just now adding stuff back and would love to get the HOTO again if anyone has any frags to sell?

Seems like not too many people have this coral.

Looks like it was hot about 2 years ago.

They need time to grow. Original colony is gone, so gonna take some time. This is the most sought after coral in my tank. I have had offers more than HomeWrecker if I would frag it.

Sadly I lost this coral about 1 year ago. Yet still very very happy to see the people growing this coral. Good luck to everyone who has it.
