Are These PPE?

[stevem650]

I picked these up for 10.00 at a frag swap. The color is close, but I would say that they are a little more on the purple side. The lighting is a little off. Are they PPE'S? Thanks

Do you mean RPE's? Cause they definetly aint PPE'S!!

 

[SBJim]

PPE's have bright green skirts, deep purple faces. Those look like RPE's, and are quite a score if you got the whole frag for $10.

Wow, you paid less them me! I paid $15 and they were opened the whole time. From the frag swap to home.

They are not PPEs. However they are people eaters. I check on zoaid.com and they came up as "monster lips". I think someone wanted to make a new name for RPEs.

You made a nice score on some RPE's.

Looks like a Desert Fox/Green Stardust PE tag along, too.

Hey Stevem or ek9vboi, where do you guys go for frag swapping? I live in Miami and am looking for a place/club/event to trade or buy nice frags....let me know.

 

[stevem650]

I belong to the Florida Marine Aquarium Club. I picked up the frags at the Swap. Great deals there.

Florida Marine Aquarium Society here in South Florida. Go to Forums, then almost all the way to the bottom to Clubs, then go down to the "F's" and look for Florida Marine Aquarium Society... Got to love the Frag swaps

I believe the club will be having another swap in November as this past one was such a great sucess.

Thanks for the info...do you actually need to take frags to swap or can you just go to purchase some frags? I will definitely be at the next one.

 

[ZURCSREEF]

Don't have to bring anything but money to purchase the corals for sale

[DannyUFKC]

Do you have to be a member to go? If you'd like to trade can you bring some frags? Do yo uhave to be a member to sell?

 

[ZURCSREEF]

Go to the FMAS forums and get the info there.

Check it out. You can do as you please at the frag swap as long as you are a member. If you are not, then you can join. It was like 10 bucks for me b/c I signed up or a family acc., but for a single person its 7.50.

Its pretty cool, you can bring stuff to sale or trade. But most of it was sell sell sell... not much trading unless it was prearranged.

DannyUFKC, if you have anything to trade or sell PM me. I might be interested.
