Hey Nick,is there yellow torts? I have a acro no one can ID.To me it looks like a tort and a few others have said that too.I've never seen a yellow one.All that Cali and Oregon tort thing has me confused too..lol I have a nice light blue tort and thats good enough for me

From what I read...

Oregon is slow growing and deep blue

Cali and ORA are the same thing...fast growing...and have a slight green tinge to them

Miyagi is something someone made up just to say "oohh wow miyangi tort". It is probably one of the above...IMO.

I feel your pain!

ORA & Cali are the same.

Yellow Tort is really an Austera.

The Oregon Tort is most likely not a Tortuosa, but something else no one has yet to identify. The label just stuck with it. The blue is like no other coral!

Here is Steve Weasts Blue Oregon Tort:

Here;s the Shawn bennett tort from fragfarmer.com. Notice it grows in more of a stag form.

Edward thats for clearing that up.my blue one looks just like the oregon.Heres a pic of the yellow one i have,it's getting a blue hue to it now.It's a real nice color now.

The ORA/Cali Tort comes the closest to Coral Search in a true ID:

My understanding is that the Cali/Bennet/ORA torts are the same (mine):



I've always heard/thought that the oregon tort is a real tort (only have a frag, and MAN does it grow slow ):




Yellow tort is an austera, but o2manyfish's name stuck :



The miyagi tort is the same: austera, named miyagi tort and it stuck:

ORA, Bennet and Cali are (supposedly) the same. Oregon is different (slower grower, deeper coloring).
