New Discovery: Vampire PE

[Akwarius]

I was in the right place at the right time and picked these up the other day:

 

[MikeandNicole]

This is why I love zoas, so many interesting colors and patterns. Nice find.

 

[Nanook]

Beautiful!!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Those are nice!
How much did you pay for them?

let's just say they were worth every penny when I saw them in the store I was like:eek1:

Beautiful!!

thanks!

that's what I thought! It's funny how some zoas almost have a "personality".

 

[Reef Junkie]

Oh well, I guess I'll find out when this color morph lands in a LFS near me.

 

[Dave VG]

I just want to clarify. It has been brought to my attention that these are not people eater polyps because they are lacking the watermelon body pattern, therefore I am calling them Vampire Palys.

You can call them slap yo granny for all i care..

Nice pickup bud. :beer:

 

[Akwarius]

That's really inappropriate. My grandmother just died a few months ago.

I get it, you don't like the naming of zoa morphs.

Uhh.. I'm thinking you took him the wrong way....

Ill try this again.

MEANING whatever you decide to call it. (and the name you picked is awsome)
its an awsome find and zoa.

Like i knew about your loss?

im not against the naming of anything. be proud of all your zoas i am the ones with names and the ones with out. I look past the name game and really at the zoa/paly itself.

Any event nice find :beer:

 

[Scott-CapeCoral]

Very kind response I must say, Friday.


they are nice Akwarius, way to go.

 

[Akwarius]

Ok, I'm just a little touchy when it comes to grandparents.

I agree that the name game can sometimes get absurd. Usually I don't care that much about my polyps names, but I thought that this one was truly unique and deserved a good name. To me it really looks like a vampire zoanthid.

yeah, I got lucky with these. The lfs had these under junky lighting and no one noticed them.

 

[Akwarius]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Dude , we have to talk :beer: Schaaaweet ! Maybe you can send me a paly to hold on to for S and G.
