    Oregon Tort is what I think! But I am not real sure. Its Cali is a Blue Tort anyway I believe. Todd try using the Reefer's Q&A it's great.

    Having owned both corals in the past, I think it looks like a Cali/ORA blue tort. The OBT has a very distinct blue to it that it's hard to mistaken it for anything else. Or at least I haven't found anything like it since I've been keeping SPS since 2002. Here's an old pic of my OBT and I would say the color is very accurate to life.

    Thanks for all the help and great comments about the "Cali Tort". Trying to really grow the piece out and see what I can get. IF anything breaks off Ill let a few people know!
    Its a slow grower, but great to watch.

    It is probably Oregon Tort, or ORA Tort.


    Both of them look almost identical. They are one of the slowest growers though. If you talk to most, the Oregon Tort is the slower usually of the two.
