I received a teeny piece from a local reefer who had it break off his frag when de-plugging it. Overall it's a pretty fast grower, IME. Here it is, still small...

Though to be honest, so far, color and shape look extremely similar to this unknown tenuis I have...

I've been really disappointed with mine. It appears to be the most expensive tenuis frag known to man. JMHO!

[SDguy]

So it's not that surprising then that my tenuis(?) looked a lot like naka's Roscoe's when I first got it

I've seen lots of corals called "tenuis" though...

[j.prostrata]

I was looking at my dog Marley last night and thought about taking a piece of tenuis I have that looks better then the roscoe and naming it Marley and selling it for $100 and inch too...

[SDguy]

I've seen Roscoe's and Joey's, so maybe you should :D

I'll throw "SD's Green and Blue" into the ring :p

[JB NY]

They do look like corals that are sold as tenuis.

[jay24k]

Did you guys pay alot? I didn't pay more for that roscoe frag then I did any ORA frag from the LFS. I paid the same even for my german with blue polyps. This is why I don't go nuts over the trends. I thought it looked nice so I got it.

[Jasonincuritiba]

I paid $59

[CMcNeil]

i paid 40 for mine here it is when i first got it.

The last local group buy for ORA had the Roscoe's for the same price as the German blue polyp or the tort (actually I think the tort was more still).

[CMcNeil]

i get all ORA frags from my LFS for $40-45.the online prices are just crazy.ive seen the roscoe online for $99 lol.get real its nice but not $99 nice.

[flasher1]

I have a tenuis colony that colored up to what your roscoes look like. first $200 takes it...lol

[j.prostrata]

I get them for $30 heheheh. Pays to have your friend own a LFS

[Creetin]

I payed $59 for mine and it is a small colony, I have seen aqucultured colonys come in smaller than the frag i got.
Is your places you got them from choppin them up?

[JGoslee]

I paid $40 for mine.

[Znut Reefer]

I got mine in a trade. :D

Drs. Foster & Smith took my first born child for my Roscoe's. :(
