Campfire Palythoa

[jbell370]

Anyone heard of these or have them? If you have them, easy enough to care for? Any different from other zoo's or paly's?

I am getting several heads this week and am just curious.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Friday Night]

yes.. I havn't heard any "horror stories" yet.... so normal care.

I have a large frag... similar to Nightmares but MUCH larger. They grow faster than any Palythoa I have ever seen!

 

[jbell370]

I finally got them yesterday, within an hour they were open and looking good. Will try to get a pic tonight.

The campfires are an awesome paly. And they grow super fast. Bought 1 polyp, and had 4 polyps within a month.

best of luck,
Dan

Not my pic, the guy who I bought it from provided it for me since I am camera challenged.

 

[Johnny C]

Very nice picture... where'd you pick them up?

Yes! Theyre not fussy like say the VDM's

My frag got overturned more than half a dozen times by my wrasse and it still opened up everytime i set it straight.

Ive since set it up in another place untouched by the wrasse and theyre multiplying steadily.

I think they are a very good looking paly wish I had them in my collection tho time will tell. One polyp people should be proud to have in their tank is this one.

I picked these up in Toronto area along with several other types, the seller collects high end zoas, polyps and chalice, all of which I want.

 

[ddwbeagles]

Yeah - nice score and one that you don't see everyday.

 

[jbell370]

Does anyone have a pick of new growth from a zoa or polyp? When I bought this campfire frag, there appeared to be another little bump forming and now there are several of these bumps right on the base of the polyps, just curious if this is new ones forming or something else. They are wide open and greedy when I feed them.

Thanks.

 

[jbell370]

Scratch that question, I checked them out this morning and from the 3 heads that I started with there are now 8 bumps, 3 of which have little heads on them, so it is starting to grow.

 

[jbell370]

I get them out of Toronto. I picked that frag up along with some other ones. I started with the 3 heads and now, as of this morning, have 11 new heads that are open. I figure I will frag them this weekend into three frags and let them grow out some more and frag again.

For whatever reason and I am not complaining, every type of zoa and polyp grow like mad in my tank. I am just starting to build my collection, but want to go with high end stuff such as Original purple hornets, Bam Bams, Rainbow, Black Hole Sun, Nuclear Green, Shiznit, Everlasting Gobstoppers, Original Red People Eaters, People Eaters on Acid and the like.

 

[mtiknoles]

areefcreation.com has them for $50/polyp.

 

[jbell370]

$50 seems high since they grow like weeds.

 

[suppressivefire]

They deffinatly don't grow like weeds but they grow fairly fast, I have about 20 polyps now and had them for about 6 months deffinatly a sweet paly.

 

[Snickersalad]

These are awesome, but at 50$ a piece for something that even grows moderately fast, I think I'll wait til they come down in price.

 

[jbell370]

I bought mine on April 21, 3 polyps on the frag and I now have 14, the 11 new ones are not full size as the other 3, however they are large enough to open and be in view.

 

[Flowbot]

Those are very nice.
