obrien.david.j Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Anyone have Immortal Tort? (See Jake Adams link below) Steve Weast referenced it late in his Reefbum interview, and I looked it up. Looks interesting. (unless @steveweast still has any, and willing to share) https://reefbuilders.com/2021/01/15/are-reefers-ready-for-the-immortal-tort/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweast Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Mine is really too small to frag. It does have several new branches but still needs time to grow out. To tell you the truth, I find it a little ho hum. I think that the Oregon tort is more blue. That could change as it grows out though. For me….Jake’s full grown colony was more interesting in shape rather than color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you have it, and can check how it's growing out. Anyone else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many people have it. It was never really distributed while Jake was alive. Now ACI aquaculture has it, so it should start to show up at retailers within a year or so.

Saltfishlover Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Is that the only Jake Adam's coral you are looking for? I have a piece of his red branching montipora that I'm growing out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a form of red branching monti now, but thought it had more of a tyree history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfishlover Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 It's not close to being fragged but this is what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltfishlover Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Reefdudes held a Jake Adam's auction to help his kid and wife when he died. It was the only piece I could get my hands on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Reef Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I'm also looking for the immortal tort, hopefully it starts making its way around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 inquire with your LFS to set up with ACI to bring in their corals 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
