Reminds me of some stardust paly..
It's a very old polyp, the oral slit is usually darker. They only sold you one, or was it a hitchiker? Please sir, don't tell me you paid more than $ 2 or $ 3 dollars for this polyp? I'm not trying to be smart mouth or funny or anything like that. Honestly, it is not a rare or uncommon polyp. I'm just being honest with you. A close macro picture of anything with great lighting will appear to be something new. In this case, it appears to just be under better lighting.

So you are saying that young polyps have darker oral slits???
are we talking teenager polyps, or even younger ones than that??
No my friend, when I say old, this polyp is not a new discovery as so many claim with other polyps I'm seeing. I wanted the OP to know that in case he was told otherwise. So the old refernce is that this polyp has been around for many many years and I'm just shocked to see it being sold as a single polyp on a plug. I wasn't speaking in a mature or immature refernce by any means. All of the ones I have seen just like this one had a slightly darker oral slit. So many polyps today look like something due solely to a more intense lighting source, higher wattage or K value, super macro photography and sometimes photoshopping. I am by no means saying this is a photoshopped picture. What I am saying is with a good camera, the right macro lens, clean water to shoot threw, slightly more actinic then day lighting, and I can make a peanut look like a pearl. I don't want to distract from the OP's thread though. He ask what we thought, and I shared my opinion is all.

I love these, they generally will get bright purple tips under different lighting scenarios. You can kind of already see the purple tips.
