tyree and ORA = $$$ 
tyree is the guy who found and named the coral, and ORA (Oceans, Reefs and Aquarium) is a aquaculture company that also found and named a coral. Its kind of like a tag and helps keep track of corals i guess

Tyree is just a lineage, someone will explain more and better than i can.
ORA is a coral/fish farming facility that aquacultures all their stuff. Google them.

You know one of these day's i'll just buy some random nice looking coral and name it Jeff's frag of goodness or something. It's really just a brand name thing, even though you can get the same coral for less money elsewhere.
P.S. I think thats what happened with Greg Hillers aqua delight, since we were discussing this on the Boston Reefers forum.

Maybe ORA since they're supposed to be acuacultured and guaranteed to not be removed from the oceans, being environmentally aware and all that stuff if your into it. But everything else NOOO!
They are worth it in some cases. As stated, you can get bigger, nicer looking corals for less $, but will they hold their colors? All of my tyree corals look as advertised or very close. The money spent somewhat guarantees they will look a certain way, which is almost impossible to claim with most others. So if you see a certain tyree coral you like, most likely it will look similar in your tank unless you have drastically different conditions. Many of his corals are also proven to be quite hardy. The purple monster for example, many times I've heard and seen it the sole survivor of major tank crashes. I have corals from other "high profile" type growers and very few of them maintain colors as advertised.
This also doesnt take into consideration the aquaculuring argument already made, which is very valuable IMO.

as stated it's a linage of the coral, few people on here have stuff named after them, basically it was a new or unknown coral and someone grew it out, one example, the watermelon chalice see both versions and the le seems more colorful, was in same tank. ur paying for a name really and can't prove it's le or anything truelly other then them saying it is,
:smash: You really are brain-dead.
he found them in a box :lol2:

Dean knows why......
Tyree is a guys who has or had awesome corals. When you see someone state Tyree and a coral name, it is a piece of coral that was grown from Tyree's mother colony. Same goes for any other corals with a name if front of the actual coral name. Most of Tyree's strands of corals are spectacular. Keep in mind there are "generic" corals for all of his high priced ones.

Speaking of which,Anyone bringing any or selling them at the swap?
smcooler usually has some at his table
Tyree is a pothead that rummage trans-shipped corals at LAX as they get unpacked. He grows them in his tanks for a while then list them for sale, with the help of some hype from newbie-want-to-be-cool reefers, he gets big bucks and a long waiting list for them. :bablefish
You don't have to get corals with cool "tags", you should buy corals from LOCAL people who have a healthy tank with COLORS.
