I have Cali tort from two different sources and those are purple/blue with green.

The Oregon tort I have is all blue.

The Cali grows a lot faster in my tank.

thanks for the thread, i was interested in the different tort types that i keep hearing about too beyond the oregon, cali.. like becker, bennett, miyagi, etc.. sounds like from the thread they alot are the same coral (bennett, ora, cali, etc.).. any locals with other varieties see the difference, or in the lfs?

Hi Mr. Ugly
Any chance you may have a frag of the Oregon for sale or trade?

I've got just the one decent sized frag right now. So nothing available for a while. Later this year though

Norman - What levels are you maintaining your calcium and KH to get good growth on your cali tort? Thank you.

I shoot for:

Ca 430 ppm
Alk 3.45 meq
Mg 1350
S.G. 1.024
