I would have bought some but the shipping is 50% more of the price. Why so much for just 5 polyps?

Absolutely....If You like them, that is all that matters...
Rev- Hows that scoly doin??
I know you won't believe this, but I made a few calls and I found some true OE, or is it EO, today, and they are crazy orange. I purchased 12 of them and they are stunning. I'm not into names, but I wanted to set the record straight, so I purchased them. I will try to get someone to take a nice macro shot tomorrow. Delso650 wanted to see a side by side comparison and I wanted to take one for the team and I picked up a dozen or so. The price was a steal, they are bigger than I thought but truly sweet indeed. I continue to say it day in and day out, if you know where to look, and you have a picture, not a name, you can find anything. Finding them was very easy. I'll post a macro shot around 5 PM eastern time just for you Delso650.

Like someone here said, if that guy's got them, there will be more out there at good prices. I fiinally found someone to go in on the shipping with me, only to find them sold out. 
You will never ever guess in a million years what I paid for them. I tell you that you will never ever guess how cheap they were. I'm not going to keep them, I just wanted everyone to see what the so called hype is about.

Well, I'd love to buy some from ya, pretty please??? I couldn't afford the other ones.
PP, I shouldn't have said that above, what I meant was, they aren't going to last long. You'll see why when I post them. Plus it's against the rules to make offers for or discuss sales, trades or purchases, no offense ok. Just wait to see the pics first. I''ll share them at 5 PM eastern today when I return home.

So they aren't that healthy-looking?
Yes they are very healthy and sweet looking. You'll see the issue when I post them later today.

I'm on pins & needles!
I hear you loud and clear Delsol650, so I did this just for you my friend. I also agree with a few others in saying, "like what you buy, and buy what you like". But if I buy something, it's because it has a full body of color, and of course not the name.
Here's a side by side comparison to see if this is the orange paly in question.
The first picture is what was originally purported to be the OE. It is the exact same polyp that I saw a well over a year ago. Note the color, the shorter knobby skirts and the striations/lines that DO NOT cross the oral slit. The surface around the slit is flat and smooth. This is what I remembered when I saw them in person. You can also see this with a magnifying glass . Retail price back then was $ 800 to $ 900
The second photo is same polyp with a flash. The disc surface appears the same but now the tips of the skirts have lighter orange highlights so to speak. Again, retail price was $ 800 to $ 900
The third photo of another OE was retrieved from another web sight. In this photo you'll see the secondary color around the oral slit making this a two tone OE. This photo doesn't appear to have any of the characteristics of the pictures posted above or below this picture. Retail price is, $ 300
The fourth picture is still another OE but note the single row of skirts, not the double rows as the other OE's have.
The fith picture is the one Revtree posted originally. A very pretty polyp, but dramatically different in color, the striation are clearly seen running through the oral slit unlike picture 1, 2 and 3. It does not have the two tone coloration as seen in picture # 3.
The sixth picture was captured from the same sight in which Rev purchased his polyp. In this photo, there's a darker purplish hue to the inner ring of the skirts that is clearly seen. Retail is $ 25 per polyp.
The 7th and final picture are the ones I found yesterday. I was able to pick up 12 of them. I did this for the team as I really had no desire to buy them. I pulled out my rolodex and made a few calls. I found them within 5 minutes. I jumped in my car and drove 3 minutes to pick them up. I think the ones I found are the sweetest of them all. As I told you Pufferpunk, these won't be around long, they are truly sweet, maybe the sweetest I have ever seen. I just took this photo after doing a quick dip to clean this one up.
