Does anyone know the difference between RRC Angry Birds and RRU Angry Birds. Anyone have both?

You bring up a good question, I have seen people struggle with both it seems and they are both beautiful pieces if you can keep them. Post some pics.

Legit RRU AB is a dark blue Tenuis with hints of green in body’s shadows with reddish orange polyps. It has zero pink
This is a pic from tsa’s colony under normal lighting

And here’s a pic of what I believe is the rrc version based on who it originally came from

Notice the hints of pink corallites
Polyps are completely different as well

I also now see an ARC Angry Birds. I like that one too. I think I will have to see if I can get a couple of them.

If anyone wants to know what a browned-out-from-shipping RRU AB nub that is slowly getting its color back looks like... say no more lol.

It's definitely a nub. Lol. It's healthy though with polyp extension. Where did you get it? I see some yellow in it

I got it from a seller on this site who frequently has RRU AB frags available. It came in totally without color and looked different from the picture I was sent. I could tell it was the same frag though from the polyps and shape of course. Kinda thought I had been scammed.

It's been growing slowly and healing up well. I noticed the yellow a couple weeks ago and was so happy lol.

Well it's looking good. Great job. I wonder if it's slow or fast grower

Ok. Well I got ARC Angry Bird today. When I was unboxing it, I seen part of the flesh that looked a little pale. I was really worried as I have seen all the war stories about the RRU Angry Birds coming in with no color etc. After putting it in the aquarium, all the polyps came out on it. Its the "hairiest" per say coral I have. Lots of polyps. So now I'm thinking that the pale part must have been under the polyps. At any rate. Its got some color so I'm happy with that. Cant wait to get it colored up all the way.
