Looks more like joe the coral to me. Not blue enough to be an Oregon tort and too blue for pearl berry.

Not Oregon tort just A. tortousa. I know ORA has their own tort that they culture. The coralite structure looks very tort like. Joe the coral has very distinct green polyps and blue tips. So it's possible it may just need to color up. Trying to Id drags is so freaking difficult lol
It's definitely not pearl berry, mines coralite a look nothing like that.

Well traded in my old light and got a down payment on the pintail! It's being held for me to hopefully pick it up on Friday. This beauty will be going into a social acclimation box seeing as I already have 2 wrasses in the tank. I did pick up a little ORA acro frag today as well. I'll share that here soon...
None of these are my photos but the first is what it looks like now and last is an adult male which I hope for it to become.
Nice looking fish. Love the colors on the that male. I have never heard of them. I will definately look them up. Good luck with it.

All nice additions and this next coming fish is just WOW!
Got some BRS clear screen to replace my black bird screen today. This stuff let's in 99% of the light also. Went from a 1/2" square to a 1/8" square. Big difference. Should have been done long ago even though I haven't had any jumpers.

How's the screen for pulling it to work in the tank and putting it back?
Like the Britta adaption!
Lifts right off and sits back into place. Very simple.
Thanks. Had it sitting around never in use.
So I ended up passing on the little pintail wrasse. I know you where all looking forward to it! Lol. The main reason I didn't get it was how small it was and I lost my little social fairy from what I believe to be a combination of the initial health and bullying from my orchid dottyback. My dottyback was larger than him and very well established. I should have used a social acclimation box anyways. I'm not ready to loose a fish of that price. I did get a bigger size red fin fairy wrasse that looks plump and is larger than the dottyback. Also a social acclimation box will be in use. Maybe in the future one of the pintail (only $10 more for an already male if he can get them) will be an option. I also got a skunk cleaner shrimp thrown in for my light trade in credit. Acclimating everything now. Photos soon.

You really need to try to catch that dotty back. You will never have peace in your tank.Everywhere says they are semi-aggressive but all dotty backs are mean suckers.

Possibly, but he has always been the most docile fish in the tank. The orchids are usually the only exception with super aggressive dottyback behavior. He's never picked on any of the fish I've had, not one. The potter's angel I had picked on him at first. I think they where just way to similar in shape and size. He's also the fish I've had the longest currently in the tank..
Some better shots of the new wrasse in social acclimation day 2. He's looking really good and eating well too. Very pretty fish IMO. The question still remains, will the dottyback play nice? He's checked him out a few times through the box, the wrasse. Also one of the skunk, just thought I'd leave him in invade the new guy had anything on him as a 'halfway" precaution.

Thanks! Released him into the DT last night. He is actually inseparable from my dottyback this morning. Following each other around with not even half a quarrel. He did however flare up on my melanurus which was surprising, but he can take care of himself.
I can't agree or disagree here. About 95% of them are aggressive by nature. Ever fish has individual personality though. I once owned a sunrise dottyback and it was the devil. Killed many fish and was the hardest fish I ever had to remove from tank. Gave it away for free!
