    I have this ORA coral. But I do not know the name of it or what kind it is.
    Can you please help me out with an identification of this coral...
    I know this is a really nice piece and cant wait for it to grow.

    Looks like a tenuis to me, but its hard to tell in the pic. As far as an ORA name, lets call it Dr Pepper Tenius! ;)

    I bought 2 ORA frags a while back that look like that.

    So it is one of these


    Joe the coral maybe but probably not, and more likely

    Purple Plasma.

    I didn't think the purple plasma had that much polyp extension to it but I could be wrong.

    I gotta snap a picture, but I picked up a couple nice ORAs corals this weekend. Saw a colony of Birds of Paradise on sale and then snagged a nice frag of Hyacinth Birdsnest. The second one I need a backup ID on :)
