Show me your blue acros!
So ever since losing my decade old Oregon Tort, I have been on a solemn quest to find another navy blue acropora, but so far no success. I know they're out there so lets see those gorgeous blue acros and while your at it how about sharing the lighting, flow, and distance from the surface.
I'll start with a pic of my dearly departed Oregon Tort . . .

Tell me what you think?
This was sold to me as a true Oregon tort... Fairly reliable source.. It's only an inch tall.. That's the best my iPhone can do..

Hard to say Matt. I do feel that the name "oregon tort" gets added onto other torts. I have had that happen to me.
My large tort is not lineaged to oregon or cali.

Darryl, you're absolutely right.. That's why I ask.. I'll have to let it grow out a little more..
Here's a couple of shots or your 'cobalt' I think it's yours..

I'd say OG Tort but the white tips are throwing me off. Men is solid deep blue no white tips.

True Oregon tort coral was in abundance here in middle TN for a while as a veteran reefer had a really nice colony and it was spreading around the area. He got out and sold the colony to a LFS and they ended up losing it. No its super hard to find. I had a piece at one point and sold it figuring there was plenty around and now I am regretting it. It was the Real Deal!

I really wonder how much true Oregon tort is in Canada..
It must have gotten 'sneaked' up here at some point or another.. Love those first two shots, baros..
