    here are some pics, not of mine and a small description

    This new ORA coral was just released late today. Here's the description and picture they e-mailed me. (I am a LFS so this is how I get the e-mails)

    This is word for word of what they e-mailed me:

    ORA Red Planet tabling Acropora! This has been our most anticipated release of the year. The coral is truly stellar and sure to be the talk of the town. It is predominantly vivid red with how pink tips and a metallic green base. fragments of this coral closely resemble what most might call a Acropora millepora or prostrata but it grows into a tightly spaced, flat topped, true table coral as it matures.

    We have been working with this particular strain for over two years. We started with a single tiny fragment obtained from a hobbyist in Europe. We are truly proud to finally release this one.

    The Red Planet Table displays excellent growth and color under a wide variety of lighting conditions and has proven to be one of our hardiest corals. You truly must see it to believe it. You can be sure that your customers will be anxiously awaiting this acro's arrival so you might want to go ahead and start your waiting list.

    A guy in our local reef club got one a couple of months ago and has been doing very well for him. Besides that don't have much information.
