New acan I picked up from Tiki my LFS. Some really cool Rainbow Lord. Cross fingers I can keep all the rainbow colors and it won't orange out on me. Any pointers? Ill get a better shot later.

I love this!

Ha! Thanks Jackie me too. This frag is off a colony that I originally got from Travis at Upscales almost 10 years ago. Oregon tort has to be one of the oldest aquacultured corals in the hobby and IMO one of the prettiest! I've got two colonies growing and may even have a third one day. The growth structure on this coral can't be identified to any species but got the name "tort" just to categorize it but definitely not a tortuosa. Funny nothing every like it has ever been brought in before which makes it all too unique. Maybe a species or new strain all on its own. Would love to see this coral in the wild! I bet it's super blue!!

Andy, I have always loved the Oregon Tort :D However have yet to find a nice frag at a decent price (as in affordable for me). one day.... Yours is a beauty!

Thanks. $50 bucks 3/4" maybe $90 for a good 1"should be a fair price. Good luck! Definitely worth the money.

I like it a lot! Due to the holidays and being a mailman I haven't had much time to do the things I want to do. Will be loading up on some astreas here soon. Love the amount of flow I can have now and so do the corals!
