I found Envy Orange!

[RevHtree]

This is in no way a shill post or whatever. I found a vendor that is selling what looks to be the envy orange palys. I am only posting it here because I know you guys love zoas and palys.

I found what looked just like envy orange and the vendor was even calling them them EO's so I took a shot and I am glad I did. The store is called oceaninabox.com. Here is the pic I took last night with full MH lighting. It's actually a bit more orange than this pic and def different colored than the RPE.

do you have RPE you canset next to them and get a picture of both in the same shot?

 

[RevHtree]

I have a speckled RPE and I will do that tonight.

nice score REV

 

[MUCHO REEF]

I saw what's called an OE/EO last year and this polyp looks much different.

waiting to see a coparision side by side prior to me running there to order one. LOL

 

[RevHtree]

I'll have some pics by tonight, but according to what zoaid is calling EO they are almost if not identical.

 

[MinibowMatt]

their pretty... Unfortunately I just dont feel their worth what they are asking... watch your LFS.. if this guy got them, so do the LFS's... especially those that tranship...

 

[MUCHO REEF]

I agree they are pretty.

If you scroll down to the 17th and 18th post in the link below and look at both the pictures above each other., then grab a magnifying glass as I always do and compare the two, they are not the same. Color is the last thing I look at when making a comparison as lighting schemes, K value, wattage, flash etc all play a vital roll in how something appears on line. The polyp I saw last year has striations/lines that run half way to the oral slit, not through it as is the case in the picture above. Also, the OE/EO I saw, has a color line running the full diameter of the disc perpendicular through the skirts. You can clearly see this on the lower left side of the second polyp from the top in post 17 of the link below.

The polyp above has the same striations as this polyp below.

Now look at post 17 and you won't see this, not even using a magnifying glass.

I just think the oral slit being the same and having the same color seems convincing. I just did a search of a popular zoanthid that everyone wants or has and all five pictures had a different shade of blue and the skirts as well. I just checked and it appears that I have 50 60 of them and never knew it. Not being a killjoy Rev, but either what I saw last year wasn't and this one is, or vice versa. Just my 2 cents and I know everyone will disagree but we are still friends. Anybody wants to have lunch?

I was thinking the true variant of the RPE just uncolored a bit.
But who know with these things. The only orange ones I have ATM are Starwars, orange flame throwers. A true orange paly would be sweet.

 

[RevHtree]

Hey no harm Mucho! I know we all can't agree. I can tell you these are orange though and many of you know me and I have kept my share of palys over th years. These are different than any I have ever had and when I show you a shot of my RPE next to it you might be better convinced. It's ok by me though if nobody wants them, I like them allot and that's all that really matters. I think he's selling them 5 for $100 now. I didn't get a frag to grow and resell and the prices that he has compared to the $600 per, is proof of that. If they are in fact the real deal, I would be extremely happy that people could now afford these. (which i never thought they were worth that anyway)

Sure is pretty Rev... Take a pic of it with the polyp closed too when you do the side by side...

 

[650-IS350]

Agree Rev, its up to the buyer.If you like it then thats all should matter.

 

[RevHtree]

I sure will Randy.

Your right delsol!

 

[650-IS350]

Still love your collection there of palys and zoa's Rev. as well as the photo SKILLZ.

 

[MUCHO REEF]

Words I live by, buy what you like and like what you buy. Lunch Rev? LOL Anybody?


BTW, I'm not saying we disagree, it's just another reason I don't use the names. Comparing something on line is very difficult sometimes is all. If I saw that polyp, I would buy it because I liked it as I'm sure that's the reason you purchased it. I'm sure a lot of people will buy them.

 

[RevHtree]

Lunch? Anytime and I will buy!

Yea they are really orange I promise you that. I will get some pics this evening next to other palys and orange and red things. Also the the polyps closed as well.

BTW these polyps are huge.

 

[RevHtree]

[650-IS350]
