The pic of the single polyp with "one row of skirt" is my polyp. It does have 2 rows of skirt like normal it's just hard to tell in that old photo.
I got it direct from JC himself, and when I first got it it actually had the central dark area around the oral slit. He later offered 3 polyps for a little over a grand, and in the WYSIWYG they all had dark centers as well but looked a little faded.
Not a great pic of it, but you can see the dark center:
I wish I would have got one of these newer frags with lineage outside JC, if only to compare them in person.

actually what rev has is true envy orange....... i know how you all were saying how the stritations were the same as the rpe and that he must have a "ope" but orange people eaters have a dark center around the green lip and envy orange do not have a different coloration around thier lip... this i know for sure
I believe they are OE EO or whatever they are called. They are NOT Red ppe or OPE. I picked up a frag and they look like juans pics there. No i will not post pics. LOL i cant to save my life get good pics of zoa's.
Thats Just my opinion, But i believe they are, and Orange as heck!! I have had every red ppe prppe,pppprppe and lmnoppe so i know when i see a ppe. LOL

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.

PS, I think I have the real OE.
Great post Mucho! One of the things I like about reading your posts - making your point through example. I think you may have a few converts on the naming thing.
LOL, oh I don't care what it's called, I'm just having fun with it. I just remember seeing pic 1 in person and it looked nothing like pic 4 and 5.
This sight is for everyone, whether you like names or not. As long as we can all get along without flames....then I'm happy.

Oh sorry bro forgot about this. Also I have 2 new polyps already. 
I will try and get something asap. I wish I hadnt lost my rpe's. I have the speckled version of the rpe so I will at least do that one.
On a side note I actually think my polyps have become a more orange than before.

Wow, for $800 they grow fast!
I got half a dozen of them because of this thread and have to say, they are VERY cool looking under the ATI Blue Plus'. They are not quite as vibrant in color separation as the red skirted RPE's that I have, but these not quite as mature as those are. They will undoubtedly get better as they grow up.
Thanks for the find Rev... I owe ya one and they are a pleasure to deal with as well.
