New zoos today, large and colorful, What kind?

[cook]

I got some new zoos or palys today. Not sure what they are, any Ideas? Pics taken under 50/50 pc lighting, cant wait to get these under 400w 20k!

links dont work. but if you are referring to the ones in your photo gallery, they look like some sort of proto palythoa. judging by the markings, i'd say they have ALOT of potential to color up to something really nice. just give it time

proto palys tend to color up better under stronger lighting, but not too strong. so if they are under your 175w MH's or the VHO's I think they'll do great!

I ID'd them first, so keep me in line for a frag once they color up!

Pics are in my nano at home with 50/50 pc. Notice how white the sand is. I will take more pics this weekend when I get them over to the prop tank under 400 20k. They should come out very nice.

LFS last week, They have some red ones 5 polyps for $500. Never seen these or the red before.

5 polyps for $500 that is a little extreme

5 polyps for $500!:eek1: Man, talk about price gouging.

You should go there, tell them to bag the colony and then when they ask for the money give him $50. When they correct you, ask them why the coral is $500. I'd love to hear the response!

What they have looks alot like rpe's. Way too much.

$500 is very extreme, i dont care what color they are. They should have diamonds growing out of the eye for that much. I made a mistake and paid $200 for an acan frag...saw it somewhere else for $50...I guess if someone is as dumb as i was they will sell it or it will be in their tank along time.


anyway great looking love to see them under the new light....

the RPE's i got a year ago were sold at $5/polyp at a LFS.

They should poop diamonds on a regular basis! :lmao:

Way out of touch with reality. Does this guy live on the Neverland ranch?

5 for 500!!! Ouch.

I think you mean these here in the first pic?? They are very sweet, but man, thats some cashola!

Also snagged a decent shot of the ones you picked up, pic2. I'm thinking they are the same, but I've had mine a few weeks and they are starting to color nicely.

Those are some really nice protos, cook. Is it wrong to be a proto freak?

Alex,

Sorry, meant to comment on your's too. The bottom protos are really nice.
