What ever this one is. I forget what it is but was the only one I could get to grow my first 5 years in the hobby. Now I only have frags because of my hermit crabs who I sent packing back to my LFS, they would all congregate in the branches and break them off. Can you name this for me? The second pic was my 46 gallon bowfront, the fourth is everything transferred to a 75 gallon.

Low maintenance coral for sure. I can just place a broken piece anywhere on my rocks and they will grow. Thanks for the info.

The first 3 I personally thought of were red planet, Oregon tort, and strawberry shortcake

Agree! I had those 3 once but lost Oregon Tort during tank crash! may start another frag some day!

Going to stick with ORA here:
1. Pearlberry
2. German Blue Polyp Acro(elusive)
3. Chips Acro (for the fuzz)
4. Red Planet
5. Hawkins Blue
6. Roscoes Blue
7. Dustins Deepwater(very unique)
8. Plum Crazy
9. Tri-color acro
10. Phils Granulosa

That would be a heck of a 10 pack ;)

Makes me wonder about changes in lighting. Back when some of these were new folks were using MH, PC, VHO. LED was barely on the horizon. Any thoughts on whether these do as well under modern LED systems? Or have changes in lighting led folks to other SPS strains that do better under LED?

I prefer and run MH supplemented with Orphek leds.
In todays world all quality light sources work for all types of corals.

Maybe water issue? Running activated carbon may cause issues with those corals as well.
