Mine came from @Eagle_Steve I'm not sure where @fishguy242 Came from..
When imported, it was listed as an acropora tortusa (tort for short). It was a mariculture colony, and even the tag on the base listed it as that. If that is really what it is, not sure lol. It does have the same structure as my massive myagi tort, but does not shoot out long growths like the myagi.

Way cool either way! You don’t see many turquoise sticks or corals.. I have a few blue torts and the Cali and miyagi of course.. trying to source a Oregon but locals are being stingy :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

I have been looking for an Oregon tort as well and no luck. Had one years ago and gave it away when I moved. Should have never done that lol.

I guess there is a version of the Oregon tort that purports being an Oregon but is questionable as it doesn’t quite have the same depth of blue as the original. I’ve seen it discussed in a number of threads but I do not think anyone has a verifiable way of proving it other than through different coloration. Whether true, or not, I hope you both are able to score some good looking torts!

Yeah I have a few I just call blue torts.. it’s way different than miyagi and Cali for sure.. looks similar to Oregon but doesn’t have the richness in it! It’s a bluish turquoise not the deep rich blue that Oregon shows..
