Are those PPE's in pic #1? If not, my screens all wacky

twon8 · 04/24/2006, 01:34 PM

im not sure, they have purple centers, but the skirts are a bit bland right now, though i believe i can see a hint of green in them; i imagine they will color up in time, so here's hoping.

I like can't find stuff like that around my place to often.

gflat65 · 04/25/2006, 06:17 PM

If the purples don't have a green mouth and are smaller like most other zoas, they could be PHE's. Hope they color up for you (not that they seem to be lacking color now

).

they are a bit larger than almost all of my zoas, id say the biggest are more than 1/2 an inch across. ive got two groups of them and they will go in seperate tanks, under different lighting, and see how things look in a few months.

I wish my lfs had zoos like that.They dont ever have anything but bland tan ones or yellow polyps.

Very nice

I also picked up those in one of the LFS' around me .

surfnvb7 · 04/30/2006, 10:35 AM

starting to sound like a whole sale company/diving & collecting company came across a huge reef area with these zoas, and now they are popping up all over the country. why pay $10 a polyp from ming at atlantis when everyone else is getting small colonies for $30?

this is very true I have seen these all over the boards and they all poped up at the same time .

I paid 49 for each bunch
