Sc orange passion vs rr orange passion

[Mrxia0]

What’s the difference between these two? I bought one of each from separate transactions but look the same. Are they the same coral just different lineage?

 

[lemonade]

RRC and SC OP are the same coral

 

[Mrxia0]

Ahhh lol I figured

Ahhh lol I figured

Just send one to me, I'll take it

I could definitely make you a frag(s). Since I got a small taste of your collection I’ve been wanting more. We could trade acros or mushrooms or torches since we aren’t terribly far from each other.

My new frag tank is on its way so ill have room for more corals at the end of the month. I'll pm u a list of what I have and whats fraggable later today. Hope the frags are doing good

 

[Mrxia0]

They are doing fantastic! Already encrusting a little bit. Lol I’ll need another frag tank or a bigger one soon

I have to look at my list later as I always get them mixed up but it's either Asia or Canada RR Orange passion is different than the sexy corals

Do you have pics? My sc has more polyp extension but that’s about all the difference I see but then again I have some color blindness

 

[Mrxia0]

RRA looks pretty different though

 

[Reefnjunkie]

I'll have to see if I took pictures. Sadly I've lost the colonies and started again with frags- both of which never made it

It's obvious tho, the one that's different has zero blue body (or whatever color people want to call it) with yellow green polyp

The Canada is the one I'm leaking towards as being different but it's polyps are orange and body is more cream in color not blue/green

This is my RRC OP

Looks just like my SCOP

 

[Mrxia0]

These are mine

My mistake then, Canada and Sexy are the same acro, Asia is not the same

I had gone as far as grafting/fusing both canada and sexys and the grow together and formed a single acro- I'd suspect different acros would battle and someone's going to die.

That didn't happen and it's as close to something scientific as I could do lol

Thank you for the picture

I like the experimentation lol could end up with another type of splice

Why do you have your frag tiles elevated? Just curious..

 

[Rickyrooz]

I have both, they are very different. Maybe because it is the RR "Ultimate" Orange Passion vs. RR Orange Passion.

SC Orange Passion

RR Ultimate Orange Passion

 

[Mrxia0]

I have it elevated because of all the detritus from the fish. It seems to always cover the base of the acros and end up killing them from the base

Those are some nice pictures. What do you use to take pictures? The ultimate passion looks amazing btw

SCOP and RRC were the same coral. IIRC, RRA was a coral imported by some of the people that started getting supplied by RRA (TGC?) when they came into existence, and most of the reef raft asia stuff was pretty unreliable as they were importing wild colonies and calling them the same name of corals that had already been released even though they were clearly a different colony and freshly imported. I remember watching some of them peel and RTN at MACNA in Denver after finding it laughable they were trying to pass it off as the same coral.

Either way, RRC/A and SC were about as shady/sketchy as coral businesses come. Nice coral though...
