Hawkins Blue echinata is all blue, but is more of a dark blue from what I've seen. Their Blue bottlebrush also is pretty cool. I'm not sure if they have a tenuis, but I've seen some that are very nice and are up there for blue.

I would say oregon, then their cali tort/ora tort, then its a toss up of all their blue tipped corals. For instance I know their chips acro has blue tips but I never see the skeleton on mine. 24/7 polyps so I don't ever get to see the bkue.

Hawkins Blue echinata is all blue,

Every one I have ever seen in pic or person has been a turquoise/blue/green color... not really blue at all.
