intresting now DD is getting in the name game of sort

[650-IS350]

Now they're labeling zoanthids taken off Caribbean waters as Panamanian zoos. Interesting. Wondering if these are true taken on Panamanian reefs or just Caribbean zoanthids off the Panamanian coast of territories bordering the Caribbean sea which basically would be in same family of zoanthids that are hosted in florida waters??:reading::reading:

[SIR PATRICK]

Did anyone see the purple people eaters????

 

[650-IS350]

that's why I mentioned that they look like typical Caribbean type zoanthids.

 

[SIR PATRICK]

I agree.

If their PPE's are PPE's, then I have about 70 heads of it. Did you check them out?

 

[kichimark]

Hmmmm expensive colonies for something that they probably got somewhere in the Caribbean. I wonder if the "panamanian" will be the new "japanese" for zoas?.

Today they had these

"Blue Hornets"

They are obviously not true blue hornets.

 

[SIR PATRICK]

^ But at least they got the location of collection correct this time, lol!

Those are indeed from Africa.

They are not PPE's. But as they have said to me it's ok we can call them that because they have the IM next to the name. The IM means Identacle Morf.

 

[SIR PATRICK]

Was wondering what the IM was.....

Those are blue hornets, they just look different when they first come in from Africa

Identical to RPE's apparently...

I didn't know Panama had CITES, but maybe they just opened up exports? Really, really surprising that if they got zoanthids from Panama that they wouldn't get Ricordeas as well, at least they're not calling them "Cuban".

 

[SIR PATRICK]

I blame the panamanian polyps on the cuban rics......

I hope this doesnt last much longer.

 

[kellyjn]

A little off topic, but

I bet it won't be long until the vendors try to associate Japanese zoas with a LE/Super Rare tag now......... Anyone want that bet? lol

 

[NyReefNoob]

kelly they already have, from day one, shoot u didnt know everything is LE { they just bought one colony so the amount is limited }

 

[XSharkboyX]

You are probably right... They most likely paid the same price for all of their colonies as well. Just marked up the "named ones."

DD has been gently doing this for the past few years... It's getting a little out of control, imo.
