White? Not bleached? I have never seen white Pipe Organ. Pics?

Hmmmm.... Mindy you might become my favorite out of town reefer. I'll be through Toon Town this summer :wink: HAHAHHA!

Hahaha! Favourite out of town reefer...that's hilarious. I'll be in Edmonton in a few hours. Going to stop by Blue World, Red Coral, and maybe that new one I can't think of the name...

They aren't bleached. White ones exist, and they are VERY white. I think these photos were taken with just actinics on so the pic isn't very good, but they are pure white. The one is called "Daisy" and has green centers, but no pic right now.

Nice coral Mindy.

AI has some great stuff right now too. I can't remember the new one either. Last I heard he had nothing in the Salt tanks. Any update on this locals??

I'm not looking for any livestock (tank's full!). Gotta pick up some salt at Blue World and I haven't been to Red Coral in Edmonton yet so I figured I would check it out. Now I think of it, I read somewhere the new SW store had just brought in live rock to cycle their tanks so you're probably right. Probably be fall before they are going full tilt.

that last coral is actually a clove polyp coral and a pipe organ is technically a softy not an lps

Where do you see it classified as soft coral?

Pipe Organ has an obvious hard skeleton. I have not found anywhere that calls it a softy. It is always classified as hard coral..... so....
