Zoanthid freaks!

[TexasTodd]

:)

Can someone tell me if these are really rare, or just ebay rare?

Thanks,

Todd

[blueboy]

those are awesome! i've never seen them before.

[hobogato]

i have never seen that color combo b4 either. if you get em, i would definitely be interested in a frag at some point

[MattK]

I agree they look awesome!
Never seen then either.

[cbianco]

Great coloring on those zoanthids. What is that frag going for?

[ReefOne]

yea, RPE's. I've seen them on frags.org and a RC

[LoneStar]

Wow nice colors.

Will you disclose your source Todd??

[cpreefguy]

Will you disclose your source Todd??
Not likely :P

[LoneStar]

Yeah I know its not likely he will. ;)

Those arent RPE, but much better looking IMO.

I think I found some of those just recently and I picked them up. These are "Red People Eaters" and I think they are the same exact ones in the very first post of this thread, I just don't have as nice of a camera.

Here they are:

Here they are with just actinics, sorry a little grainy my camera doesn't like this spectrum too much:

Yours look more like RPEs than the first ones do. people eaters have very very short skirts and really big polyps. The first ones dont look quite in proportion to a normal people eater IMO.

[discuspro]

Something else I noticed on these RPE's is that there is green variegated/striped tissue as they close up underneath their tentacles.

I looked really close at TexasTodd's pic and I kinda saw something similar shown here (this is a zoom from TexasTodd's pic above)

Sorry guys I was out of town and no access!

Man, I think they may be gone already.

I think they were $149.00 for that rock that seemed like a lot.

Worth it?

Todd

[TexasTodd]

Yep, they're GONE. Not to me though.

That's how it goes. You snooze, you lose. :)

Those are real cool. i am currently growing a colony of chocolate skirted flourescent red centered zoos. they have silver specks in the red area!!. The colony started with one polyp on a piece of LR. I have been spot feeding it for about a year and have over 40. Almost time to frag.

[PeeperKeeper]

Has the first pic in this post been removed? It's not loading on my 'puter, but the ones discuspro posted are. :huh

[villjr]

Ace are the RPE's the one's I got from you. They sure look like the ones discuspro has posted.

[hobogato]

if you got some of those from me, i want some of them back - i dont have any like them in my tank

seriously. i will buy some of em back from you if they are the same.

[villjr]

I'll try and take a pic later once the lights come on and they open. They are some kind of people eaters

[villjr]

Here are the ones I got from you ace.

[villjr]

Here are the ones I got from you ace. the pics w/ the actinics. Will snap a better one 2morrow whent the MH is on. Mine may be a little paler pink than the one in discuspro's post.

[hobogato]

yeah, they were sold to me as palys, but they are shaped like people eaters of some kind.

[villjr]

If you want i can split it with you and trade you something. There are ten polyps. So 5 for me 5 for you if you like. And i can take the zoo rock in back and break you off a frag like I had intended to before.

[hobogato]

i still have some of those in my tank ernest. i thought you got some red ones, like the ones on the first page.
