Cali or Oregon

[+dapettit]

This was given to me by a very good friend (name withheld to protect the innocent). They were told it is an Oregon tort but it looks like a Cali to me.

Is there a picture? I cannot see anything

[+mcallahan]

Where is it? I can't tell the difference!? Is this a scam?

[+dapettit]

It's a trick question. . . .

We have both and i'm going with the cali. The oregon is usually a deeper blue.

That's actually the Oregon tort that just needs time to color up. IMO the branches are too stubby to be Cali plus there would be some tints/hints of green and I dont' see any. My money is on Oregon but time will tell. Do you have a picture of the mother colony?

Hmm...here is a pic of my mother colony of Oregon tort. There are some stubby branches and plenty of long branches as well. Do watch for the hints of green on the polyps as that's the dead give away for my Cali tort frag.

Plus the Cali tort has more of a square or boxy coralite structure and the Oregon has more of a rounded shape.

If you look close you can see the difference between the two.

Hmmm...clint brings up a good point, but I'm sticking with Cali.

Colorization with time will tell.

After reading over my post again I've convinced myself it's Oregon! 100% sure.

Just b/c you live south and I live north, I'm going to stand my ground and disagree!

(honestly tho, I still think its Cali)

Here's hoping. Looks like I'll need to move it off the sand bed to a more prominent position.
