Some new ORA brown frags

[JAG107]

Got these super cheap because the store's tank was turning all their SPS brown. All at or below cost (so he says):
ORA "Joe the Coral"

ORA Nathan's Millipora

ORA Pocillopora

ORA Delicate acro

ORA Turquoise Staghorn

The turquoise has already colored up noticeably in the last week. Here's a shot from this morning:

even browned out, ORA corals look great

I have really high hopes for the turq stag especially. For $5, this is gonna turn into one spectacular colony someday if the coral gods like me :)
The store owner has a bigger piece of the delicate in his back room frag tank that looks magnificent, so it gives me hope that mine will prosper as well. His DT out front needs a major lighting upgrade or something, these frags don't look like this when they come from ORA.
I also didn't notice the bleaching on the milli til I got it home. For $5, it was still worth giving it a shot IMO. It would have just died where it was.

He must have had them for a while. Look at all that encrustation! They dont come from ORA like that. GREAT DEAL they will come around with proper water quality and flow.

The turquoise he had since June I think, and cut off the top and made a second frag of it for the back room. It was $35 two months ago. See, patience is a virtue lol

Those should color up nicely.
Want your money back on em:D

 

[JAG107]

I don't think I'll get $5 refunded, unless I bring it back twice as big and colored up :)
