I see you changed your avatar to some new zoa/palys. I love both the ones you've used...do you have others and could you share more about the zoas and or palys you keep?

[FeatherDuster]

lol You sure know how to flatter someone Grins :) I will have to learn how to pack and ship zoas so I can send you a few of my favorites since I have a bunch. Once it warms up here I will attempt it.

I currently have 15 different zoanthid color morphs. If you give me a day or two I can try to take pictures of all of them and create a blog post.

I only have 2 palys color morphs. One is your common brown and the other ones are my new "people eaters". Not sure which type though. Here is a close up and then colony picture of the people eaters. That isn't the full colony, It has about 40+ polyps. I just took a picture of the best side XD I noticed that zoanthids/palys tend to morph colors/patterns as they age and grow larger.

I hope I get some like that they are really beautiful.

Purdy! I'm a big fan of the palys as well.

[FeatherDuster]

Thank you both :D
Subliminal, I agree. I actually want to add more paly color morphs. I like their "full" look. I also noticed they tend to be the ones that have "speckles", which I love.

stunning photos! What kind of camera are you using to take these pics?

[Grins]

Really nice. Looking forward to more of your photos.

Very cool FD.. I love palys also.. I didn't realize that PPE were so brown though. I guess when you see the nice purple shots they must be under full actinic lights..

I also love them. When it gets warmer and you try to send them out I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig! I'll even pay for shipping.

Nice catch. These aren't "purple people eaters", just a form of "people eaters". Thats used to refer to the striped green mouth.

And my lighting isn't T5s or MH, just regular PC with some actinics.

P.S. Any feel free to suggest exactly what color "people eater" it is. I was thinking a type of pink?

Thanks for offering to be my guinea pig :P Since I know shipping cost can sometimes be a nightmare I was going to send out multiple frags in case of any DOA.

Those are very nice!

Cool palys.:)

[Grins]

I bet you'd be shocked at their color if you got them under some bluer light.

It would be well worth the risk. At my LFS they charge $60 for a cluster of about 15 polyps.

Well there is the Red People Eater but those and the PPE's are the only ones I know of.. And honestly I wasn't trying to catch anything I just thought you had gotten PPE's and I have heard they look brown unless you have them under the "appropriate" lighting.
