A short-branched, aquacultured Kenya tree with a greenish-tan base and darker brown, well-extended polyps marked by distinctive white striping that sets it apart from other Kenya trees.
📜 Backstory
Aquacultured by ORA (Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums) and distributed through retailers like AlgaeBarn, SaltwaterAquarium.com, Aquarium Specialty, and LiveAquaria. The white-striped polyps are ORA's recognizable signature for this strain. It is tank-raised and fragged rather than wild-collected, making it a widely available beginner coral.
Keeper tips for this variant
Easy and resilient. Moderate light and moderate flow at a low-to-mid spot; it stands erect when happy and the polyps retract and the body falls limp when disturbed, which is normal behavior.
