People Eaters

Sharkboy you don't need to go into threads and just start bashing people, the original poster just wanted to see some pics of the different kinds of people eaters not to sell them or anything. The sticky at the top of this forum has way to many pages of pics to search through to find the people eater type zoas.
 
I am a hobbyist. That is all. I am not trying to sell anything, I make plenty of money in my profession. This is one of my hobbies and I participate in reefcentral as a hobby. I am here to learn and bring value with insight and advice when possible. This is a thread to show pictures. Just like your thread started to see sharks...

should someone then suggest to mods to create a sticky thread for " PEOPLE EATERS only ", zoanthids only ??? would that make folks happy

I never once called anyone by name or bashed anyone in this thread. I was just being informational. I used words like typically, and most.

Here is a picture of my Red People Eaters. The pic was taken right after I put this frag in my tank. These palys are fast growers, at least in mt set up. They have gone from 8 polyps to 40 polyps in 3 months :-)

I must say that I feed them mysis once a week and perhaps this is why they have multiplied very fast.

I also feed other types of zoas with some people having a hard time growing and they grow fast. Sure fish poo can work for some but in the wild I know they are getting other food items to truely flourish.
 
I like what most have been saying as well. I know some picture threads in the past have been posted with the intent to sell but that is not always the case. To see some pictures of your progress and even post on what was done would be ideal posts. For someone to post to just to "see your xyz" is no different than other post to see your "xyz color" and with the former to get turned to the sticky and not the other is hypocritical.

Trust me, I dont mind picture/informational threads. If people want to compare shots, and growing techniques I think thats just swell.
 
I think we need to take a deep breath, step back and touch gloves. Both sides of the aisle feels very strongly for and against issues here including this one. I don't think it will ever go away, so we will just have to deal with the pros and the cons here.

I haven't seen any bashing. I see strong opinions from both sides as there has been those in the past who have indeed used this forum for the sole purpose of selling. I can see why some are suspicious.

This forum used to be filled with sometimes 70% of just pictures. Little or no text, nothing shared about the system, no text at all, just pictures. I don't think these guys are against pictures, I just don't think everyone wants to see this forum go back to nothing but pictures/eye candy.

Lets all share, discuss and fight fairly, or should I say, just discuss.

Dont be fooled by the "innocence" or lack there of, of most "show off threads." These threads are put in place typically by sellers to get people to PM the poster for overpriced frags. Its sort of an unspoken secret, sellers use to suck newbies in... The zoanthid forum is not a selling/gaging interest forum, its a discussion forum. This is clearly stated in the forum sticky. A collective "picture show off sticky thread" was created to stop this.

That is a very ignorant post. First off, "MOST" is not even close to true. I know I have never done that, nor has the OP of this thread. Besides, I'll take my chances with a ZOA forum with people posting pictures of their zoas, than a ZOA forum with people like you who constantly troll other's threads.

Also, perhaps you need to read the forum stickies a bit more closely and hold your arrogance until afterwards. As someone who was here when Agu originally posted the sticky, I'm very familiar with it and it reads:

I would prefer we keep this forum limited to discussions re: zoos such as care requirements, posting pictures of what you have and general information regarding zoos, not a bunch of threads providing offerings now but that will have no value to the board in 3 months.... Lets keep it educational here people....


Back on topic, these are the purple hearted green skirt zoas that many people get mixed up with PPEs and jokers as under low light they tend to lose the purple ring:

Come on guys, I'm asking politely.

That's why I created the photo sticky to prevent this.

"How about a place to collectively share some of your greatest Zoanthid and Palythoa photos. There's no need to worry about having a great camera, just share what you can along with some details of how well they grow for you, the little things you do to keep them happy and any pertinent details that will help someone else achieve the same success that you have attained. A picture along with a story or background will make this a very interesting thread I think."


It's great to see the pictures all in one place. You can log on and see the new pictures everyday in one thread. It never moves off the first page and you won't have to go searching for it via the search button or flipping through page after page. But we can't stop/prevent anyone from posting picture threads in the forum either. Many are only asking so the forum doesn't become cluttered with a dozen picture threads as it use to be. But if the purpose is to share, I would want my pics to stay on the first page for everyone to see and not move off the first page after a week or so. Posting in the sticky keeps them on the first page forever. Again, I enjoy pictures too, but like a lot of reefers here, it's not all that I come here for.

It's nothing worth fighting about, just trying to calm things down here. If people post pictures in the sticky for quick daily viewing, that's great. If not, so be it.

Last call for getting back on topic

Johnny,
Thanks for posting your opinion. I won't fire back with name calling or anything of that sort... I just have a simple question for you.
What is educational about posting pictures of 1 and 2 polyp designer frags?
