ORA has released their new ICE tort, or Tortuosa. Yes, it looks like other corals we’ve seen, but ORA assures us its different as their PR states:

The ORA™ Ice Tort has the typical Tortuosa branching growth form with a deep sea green base and glowing baby blue branch tips. This coral may look similar to the standard Tortuosa that we sell, but rest assured it is not the same thing. In addition to a different color pattern, this slow growing variety has thicker and considerably longer branches than its more common counterpart. The contrast of the dark base, blue polyps with green rims and almost white tips is stunning. Interestingly, all of the Ice Torts in the ORA greenhouse spawned 2 weeks ago.

You can expect to start seeing this ORA coral at local and online vendors very soon.

    What no story about how they had to arm wrestle a German count in some Bavarian castle a decade ago just to get this coral and have been growing this out ever since?

    yeah, i’ve seen this picture in a few places. but i want to see a colony shot. otherwise, it looks too much like a regular old tort. the baby blue tip is nice though.
