anyone use ORA?

[bprewit]

They dont sell to the public but have traded all my Xenia (hooray! Man that stuff was crazy) and in return I am going to try some montipora. Maint. service that I traded too is a really nice lady and in trade she will get me some frags from ORA on her next order. I have never heard of them but sure someone has and wonder how good their stuff is?

They have some pretty nice corals, but the frags are too expensive. The wholesale price is more than you can retail them for.

They are the captive raised commercial business associated with Harbor Branch Institute in Florida. Harbor Branch is an Oceanography Research facility. You have probably seen them on discovery channel. They do a lot of deep water research. ORA is probably most famous for their captive raised clowns.

I was able to visit their facility at the Harbor Branch institute. They have a huge aquaculture facility for food supply, as well as marine ornamentals and fish. All of their ORA frags are very hearty and colorful. They are now expanding their facility to keep up with demand. Look for good things from this company in the near future.

I love ORA frags and have a tank full of them, super hardy farm raised stuff....and all those baby cultured maximas come from there clam farm in the marshall islands...

It's not their farm, I know I tried to buy wholesale from them and they said they have contracted everything to ORA. Nice clams though these are the one Jim Norris bought when he sold clams. He got in before they made the deal with ORA.

Sorry for the mis information Tim, all the information I get is 2nd or 3rd hand and pased on down the line. I was told that they bought the farm, but it dosent matter..all that matters to me is I know have five more ulta grade max's in my clam tank!
