What is my $5 ORA

[coral88]

I got this about two weeks ago from a lfs that gave me it for $5. So how could I say no. Even though I had and have no idea what it is other than a ORA. It has a ORA plug and they said it came in with the other ORA corals they had and didn’t know how to care for. It was completely brown when I got it two weeks ago but now is starting to show some color and I thought someone might be able to id it for me now. It is getting a purple base with green coralets and polyps.

Seems tort-ish to me. I could be wrong though, maybe the purple plasma would be another guess.

Let it color up for a few weeks and give us another pic

Awesome deal whatever it is though!!!!!!

Yea let it color up a little but Im going to guess Stuber Staghorn, cuz my LFS had one that looked like that

Thanks for the guesses I will take another pic in a week or two It should have some better color by then. Like I said it was just brown when I got it two weeks ago so I think it should look great in a few more weeks. Whatever it is I'm glad I get to save it. You might have noticed not only was it brown but had started to die at the bottom.

Looks just like my ORA Plum Crazy.

Really need more color to say for sure, but i'd have guessed the Purple Plasma based on the growth and colors you are describing. However I can't say for sure in it's current state.
