I gonna have to say those arent ppe. As to what they are... Purple Polyps. They do look like a paly to me tho.

 

[edwing206]

It LOOKS like it has PE stripes on the closed polyp.

 

[dustin Combs]

Looks like a RPE!

 

[DaBenzsta08]

how much would you guys think those are worth?

 

[mfinn]

They are not ppe's.
Maybe a low quality rpe.

 

[suppressivefire]

thoes are ppe just not so true one i have them

 

[suppressivefire]

also when closed they should have stripes

This is a true blane perun PPE

[DaBenzsta08]

so whats the conclusion haha

 

[suppressivefire]

i would say they are but not super true but still ppe

 

[gsoaxionsk8]

PPE's have an electirc green skirt and matching center. If they are missing either one of those elements, i dont see how it could still be considered a PPE. In this case they are missing a green skirt, so i would say no they are not.

 

[suppressivefire]

but it has stripe and green mouth i say they are but a variant

Not PPE at all. PPE is not a species in and of itself. not all zoanthids with a green mouth are PPEs, these are likely RPE and need to color up.

A PPE has a BRIGHT green skirt and mouth and purple body!

My conclusion is that a lot of people get confused with PPE and PE.

Purple People Eaters are deep purple with a bright green skirt and mouth.

People Eater is a name that has been tacked onto any Zoanthus gigantus which has a green mouth.

As for worth, those are probably worth $10-$20 for the frag shown.

Those are usually called Bali Blues, they're available pretty regularly from some of the online vendors if you're looking for some.
