A new Zoo is on the market Purple Death.

[tubs]

surf,

You nailed it on the head for me - can be confusing sometimes

 

[tubs]

it just sounded "funny". theres alot of people who sell "tubs blue zoas" out there on the intent of making money, that are definitely not of the same strain, not even close. so we are just trying to look out for our zoanthid hobbyists [/B]

You know what's funny I've maybe sold 1 small frag of my blue zoos in 2 years and everyone else is growing them and making frag dough but me LOL. My angels like to eat expensive meals and the only bits I have left are languishing in the frag tank.

wow! that is quite interesting. i had no idea it was that bad.

do you ever get offended when people tack your name onto corals that you've never even kept, or sold?

You can't stop it so I don't worry about it at all but all I can say is buyer beware. The same can be said for the superman - lots of clones out there that just plain don't cut it compared to the vividness of the original.

I really dont' know the rules but imagine that some paperwork (permits) is required. Do you know of any outfits that have shipped to you and if they have any info on this?

i saw something mentioned about a green ring appearing on the purple deaths depending on what kind of light they are under (similar to the PHE's).

this true? anyone have any pics?

Not to butt in on this but I wanted to say that I know coralfanatics ships internationally to the UK. I also know that zoanthids are permitted to be shipped across country borders if and only if they are not attached to live rock. Permits are necessary otherwise though I do not know the details of how to go about getting them in place. Hope this helps.

By the by, I would love to get some of these purple deaths myself and wish I had the extra $$ to afford a frag Hopefully once I find a job I can afford them although I'm entertaining the idea of continuing on for my PhD (continued poor living).

Yes the PD's will take on a green skirt when in all 20k lighting, But will be like the pics shown sorta irredecent, and a little lighter.
You definately see thr green skirt under vho super actinic.

Yeap, Had a 3 orders from Coral Fanatics already! As said no paperwork is required, just the standard customs paperwork stating what they are (normal says aquacultured corals) & the value for import reasons....

Give me a PM if you like?

Cheers Shelton.
