Don’t go too far back! You’ll get lost in the 400+ pages. Hopefully my interview with Reef Keeping Magazine will be out this Fall!

:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I just finished the draft with them so hopefully it’ll be out soon!

You got it! I’ll be fragging some of them hopefully next month in anticipation of releasing them on our website after I finish with the observations of mother colonies compared to spawned babies.

That was many many years ago sadly. I moved along the ORA Chips and the Ice Fire did decent in my system but just didn't make it in the long run.

The Tenuis was actually just a no-name tenuis. One of the LFS in town used to import tons of mariculture colonies and it was just one that I grabbed that turned out real nice. I no longer have it either.
That’s a bummer but I get it. I had the ORA chips back in the 2000’s, it was one of my fastest growers. Makes me wonder if ORA still has any of this coral.

Also still trying in earnest to find the Ice fire. Seems to have disappeared for the most part.

I haven’t seen ice fire in awhile other than the Aussie echinatas that get imported every once in awhile but aren’t the same but get called it.

Yep, it’s unfortunate. Blue corals just don’t look good under blue LED lighting.

You’re speaking the truth. My display still runs around 14k spectrum so I can ogle my Oregon tort and Blue gigantea anemone. :star-struck:

Beautiful! Can you post a full tank shot?
Would love to but the display was dismantled and all the corals removed to connected frag tanks. I rebuilt a new aquascape and slowly adding pieces back in the display. I’ll take one when I’m done!
