    Thought I saw this coral on ORA's sight but wanted some other opinions. [​IMG]

    Coral on the left since I already know the right is Hawkins. Dark violet base and tips. Overall dark green color for the rest of the flesh. Bright green polyps. TIA

    Looks like a Vivid Valida to me, which is not an ORA. Are you sure it's ORA?

    No I'm not sure. Just thought it may have been Bellina based on the description on their website. Thanks evolved!

    Edit- after checking it does appear to be vivid valida. Only payed $20 for it which is cheaper than on Vivid's site. Just hope it keeps it color under my LED's. It was under MH's at the store so it'll probably change I imagine.

    Structure isn't right for Bellina, and the purple is too vivid.

    The purple will likely get more intense under LEDs.

    I have both, for the record. :)
