i have a some. Like what it says on Liveaquaria, it recommends that you have 20k lighting for the blues to "pop" out. I have 12k, and yes i can see the blue, but it is mostly like a brown digi with blueish purple polyps. PM me if you want some of it. Can trade too for a zoo

Thanks everyone. I have 10k lights so I'll pass on the blue for now. NYRNoob, thanks for the offer, but Peekskill is a little out of my jurisdiction :-) I will have to find some closer to home.

Anyone ever see the real blue? 99% of the "German Blue digi" is that brown piece that gets white-ish blue polyps. I've seen a couple of pieces where it was blue, the actual coral not the polyps. The polyps were the standard white-ish blue but the flesh of the coral was blue.

the "real" german blue polyp digi from ORA is in fact tan/brown w/ blue/purple polyps like the pic in leslies first link. It even looks this way in the stock photo from ORA's website.

I have yet to see a digi that is completely blue, if there is one, it is not the ORA digi.

Leslie, I have the ORA german blue polyp digi. It looks like the one you linked and you can have a free frag if you want to come to hoboken and get it.
