Certainly not jokers, they are nice though. Not that its consolation for not getting what you want. Especially considering what I am guessing you paid for them.
The very best place to get that answered is the club zoa thread on reef to reef. they have a large list of zoa vendors and an active selling thread. Just post and ask.
If I am not mistaken a bit of Vitamin C dosing should really bring that ring color out and make the purple deeper. (have not done it just read about it)

yeah, they are nice. i would buy some if i had the chance but i really was looking for jokers. and the get fooled AGAIN!, last night at AT i was looking at these large palys witha very deep purple with nice green skirt under some MH, i bought them full of excitment thinking i finally found jokers! under my t5s the colors came out completely different!... they were Kaleidoscope and simalar morphs. again kaleidoscopes are nice but not jokers
its not worth the drive to me. driving an two hours for a 30 refund is not too appealing to me in this weather lol. but they are nice so its just a nother addition to my zoa collection. at first under my t5's i thought they were 5-color rainbow but after closer looks they are Kaleidoscope.

price was nice though.
if you really are looking for Jokers go to the zoa board. A far number of guys there have them. I love the zoas and have a few that are named and a bunch more that are either color morphs or just never got a name. (still like them though)
I got a pretty neat one on some live rock it is speckled blue. I am not going to bother trying to trace it to a name. but might frag it if it keeps going well.
expect to pay somewhere between 10-40 per polyp depending on who you go through.
On-line stores will want more than that for jokers.
Its all very silly to me, once a few guys have them and start selling the price always falls.
or it comes to the surface that the variety is not tank stable for most people including advanced level keepers.
I am getting a couple purple deaths for 10 bucks a head from a fellow club member but that is about as much as I would ever go

I have the same ones... ordered as Jokers as well. They're definitely NOT Jokers.... not even Palys... knew that as soon as I put them in the tank.
(edited... I'll be nice, and remove my other comment).
Hey Tj, I bought the PHE, and gave you the Jokers. The ones you posted a picture of are what they look like on AQUASD. I thought Jokers are zoas not palys, I could be wrong. Anyways, sorry to everyone who went in on the GB, i was shorted a few things also. And got hit with a big shipping cost, lesson learned.

Jokers are Palythoas. PPE's (which they closely resemble) are Zoanthids.
Did you complain to the guy you purchased it from? If you were shorted, excessively charged, and items did not resemble the pictures the seller posted... you should let him know... especially with how much money went into that group buy. Then post on the forums a "buyer beware" statement if the seller gives you a hard time.
Nutty... The Purple Hearted Zoos look nice on this link though:
http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=110
Mine DO NOT look like these (AquaSD picture):
Mine have a brownish/yellow skirt, and are more blue than purple (and I run 20k lighting... so they should "pop") Who knows... maybe they'll morph over time... but I'm not holding my breath.

I was shorted only one thing, so I'm not going to complain. He was nice enough to me throughout the whole ordering process, so its not that big of a deal. I got hit with the high shipping because switched over to fedex, instead of the free usps. he compensated with a nice piece of war coral so no complaints, just from the wife thats all .

On club zoa, they just started a thread on pricing. Their list price of jokers is 10 per polyp which was seconded by a couple other guys.
All should keep in mind that, although they are not anti vendor they do promote buying and trading among the members very heavily.
