Hello
Here is a few pictures of my Male Cherax sp. Orange Tip.
The Orange on these Crays are very intense.

John,
This is the same species as the apricot cray...just different color varieties. I.e....they can interbreed. It would be interested to see what the result of such a cross would look like.

It is hard to believe that the Orange tip is a holthuisi, but anything is possible.
I have not seen it listed on the German sites I visit. ( Look at the pictures )
This species has a vary wide range of color.
Apricot - Faint Orange
Pink Coral - A odd color not really orange or pink
??? - faint blue
??? - Faint Orange & Faint Blue
Orange tip - wich have several color variations. I have 1 male that is almost all black with just the tips of his claws Orange.
I may have to try and breed them together when I have more offspring.

From what I have learned from a friend
This Cray can have 3 different colored tips.
They are Orange, Red, and even Yellow.
I will be receiving a few of the Red Tips but not until mid-summer.
And I will have to wait a little longer for the Yellow tip.
I will post pictures when I receiving them
