I live 26 miles from them and have called/emailed them on occasion but they are not that friendly to the hobbyist I’ve noticed.

Boom, can you not be a dealer of their livestock?

I haven’t applied to become a reseller to ORA as it appears, based on their application requirements, they only sell to retail brick and mortar stores. So online only retailers and aquarium service providers without a storefront are not able to get ORA accounts it seems.

Here is a pearlberry by one of the many vendors mentioned in this thread said to have the ORA pearlberry. It's colored down so it's hard to tell. I will say this was a WYSIWYG so either there was a lot of photoshop done or the frag really colored down after the picture was taken. I will not say who it was though so please don't ask.

I guess that Dr. Foster and Smith must have a storefront.

They sell a lot of ORA stuff. ...maybe you just have to be big-time. ORA has been friendly at MACNA - maybe this will have to wait until then...

Here's my pearlberry, rebounding from the stress of moving but coloring back up nicely...

That’s my photo! I got my Pearlberry many years ago directly from ORA on a black plug. That photo was of a small frag I was selling. Here is a shot of my mother colony from a while ago. It is now huge and lives under a 250w Radium.

Yeah, it's legit. Phone pic doesn't do it justice. Also I'm still working on coloring it up, I have some fairly high nutrients right now. Pic below is the mother colony.

Sorry! I should've given you credit for this. Your pic is so much better than the one you shared on Cora.

No worries. I didn’t even realize that was you Mark. Wait until I post an updated photo. It’s much better looking now.

Tried to take pics but it is at the back of my tank and my iphone can't get a clear pic of it. Will try with an actual camera.

Whenever I get back on Saturday I will post a picture of my Pearlberry, also I know I started this mainly for the Pearlberry but how much do you think is a good price for a RR Wolverine?

larangcon · Feb 23, 2018

The crave for the Wolverine diminished recently, not sure why or the reason. I have seen it selling around 80 to 90, still high and still my favorite, if you find one let me know, I'm interested too.

The toughest part is if it’s really the ORA pb or not. It took me quite a while to get hold of a true ORA pearlberry. There are a lot of lookalikes sold as ORA PB that are not the real deal.
