yah there are double skirts but also RPEs have a black center.. these dont..

I believe thats what knot-hard is saying. These arent RPEs they are envy orange. Right?
 
They just went up in price.. they were 'out of stock' for a time, now they are back up at $85 per... :)

And I thought Oil was going up fast.
 
I have these in my tank that a similar to the pictures posted here. Are these them?

It is a pour picture of the actual color . They are a little more orange. I can try and get a top down tomorrow when the light are on.

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.
