I have a frag but it doesn't look anywhere near WWC picture, Ive heard it takes time to color up. Anyone have them all colored up?

ando88 · 06/29/2009, 02:17 PM

I have seen these before! They are sick!! If you dont mind... How much did you gets yours for?

a buddu of mine got 1 polyp for around 50 bucks I think... Seems like a lot of money

20longreefer · 06/29/2009, 08:43 PM

Yep. I can get them.. for that price too... no thank you. I'd pay $100 for 5-7 polyps. But not two, at that price.

These were all the rage a few months ago. I wonder how everyone's frags are doing?

Good question.

I don't have some, not willing to pay arm and a leg. but since these are protopalys, they shouldn't be hard to keep and will feed readily.

I got a polyp for $90. It is doing well, but no new babies yet. It was pretty young itself when I got it. I will try and get a pic.

650-IS350 · 06/30/2009, 02:32 PM

Rev, you've been feeding them? If you do they should grow quick and pop out babies for you in no time.

Wowzers!

Must have included a 365-day warranty.

RevHtree · 06/30/2009, 06:13 PM

Yea i know it was expensive, but at the time it was supposed to be one of the only ones available.

I am soooooo lazy when it comes to feeding corals. LOL!

Makes sense. That's how most things are when they are first introduced.

If I could get a tiny colony (5 polyps) I'd go for it. But I've yet been able to do so.

no pics!?

Only the WWC picture.

So far.

650-IS350 · 06/30/2009, 09:45 PM

Rev with all those corals you have, I've be tempted to feed them things to make them baby popping machines.. LOL

Ebob954 · 07/21/2009, 10:37 PM

I have been looking everywhere for these.

Skeptic_07 · 07/22/2009, 08:59 AM

not my picture, this is from a growout on a different site

650-IS350 · 07/22/2009, 10:36 AM

I can see they're still coloring up. Looks like a bunch of Aipts around them.

Skeptic_07 · 07/22/2009, 10:58 AM

yeah... I passed on it. I didn't get the feeling that he really knew what he was doing. I think these palys are largely hype too and that alot of the pics of these floating around are oversaturated.

Fishindude88 · 07/22/2009, 12:16 PM

Does anyone else find these resemble Unattainable? I suppose I can't really say they are the same since I haven't seen the side by side, but I have Unattainable and they have looked similar to Captain America under the right lighting conditions.

650-IS350 · 07/22/2009, 12:33 PM

you know with polyps depending on lighting and tank parameters colorations, pattern, looks, size all differ.

Stripe01 · 07/23/2009, 11:36 AM

They all look so bland, not worth the hefty price tag.
