Gigas Clams, Marine Bettas, and a 52-Year-Old Clownfish: Inside the NEW ORA Facility Tour!

12-04-2025 - Mark returns to ORA three years after his last visit to find out how the facility has expanded, showcasing exciting new additions like the rare Gigas Clam (which can grow to feet in size) and the appealing captive-bred Marine Betta. We explore ORA's innovative shift to artificial saltwater, which has resulted in far less algae and faster growth across all species (Ocellaris, Blennies, Gobies, and Marshall Islands corals), and discuss their specific water parameters, dosing, and water change strategy. Mark questions how their decision to abandon calcium reactors will impact future growth. Plus, get a look at the legendary Maroon Clownfish, which has been in captivity since 1973 (a whopping 52 years!) and is still successfully breeding every two weeks.
