Actually I am certain where it came from so dont speculate on things you cant possibly know, it just makes you sound ignorant.

The thread was started to see if anyone has experienced corals changing color due to using superglue. If you have nothing to contribute than dont post.

yeah, im the one who sounds ignorant:lol: ; you have a great day...

I second you, twon. I guess I'm an idiot too, because I can't agree with something I know isn't possible. Where is the closed up shot to show the white striations on the underside that are indicative of Z. gigantus (PE type zoas)? They all have it and I wil guarantee that one does not. Ignorance is not knowing something. Stupidity is trying to pass on something you don't know as fact-adamantly. You asked for someone to comment on something that isn't possible. I'd have thought that since no one has even half heartedly backed up your claim that one species of zoa turned into another species that maybe you'd rethink it a little, but I guess not. I love when someone gets something stuck in their head and can't accept that they might be wrong. I guess that is life though, huh. It was all fun and games until names get thrown out there. Good luck in changing biology...

Im not the stubborn one here, I state a fact of what happened and just because you have not personally experienced it you think it is not possible, thats being closed minded. You can not provide me with evidence that a coral could not be affected drastically and change color due to contact with a manmade chemical, no one can since there has not been several studies about it. You talk like I claimed it just magically turned a different color for no reason, when in fact I stated the opposite. Changing color is not changing species, many zoas changed color drastically under different tank conditions never the less unknown reactions from chemicals. Dont be so quick to judge someone and you might learn something new.

those aren't even blue. I guess you could get away with calling them a dull grey at best.

i think they look yellow or creamy color

lol

I'd call them Baby Vomit PE

It sounds like your just trying to make them into something they are not. Looking to sell some frags for a nice profit with a bogus name?

 

[gflat65]

Like I said-good luck changing biology. Species don't change into other species (RPE's are Z. gigantus-the others you're calling blue are not, which would be obvious if you posted a picture of the undersides of the polyp). I'm not wasting another typed word here. You've already gotten more out of me over rediculous non sense than I should have allowed. Good luck with it. I can guarantee no one will back your claims because they are not possible...

Saying that superglue is responsible for changing a RPE into that other Zoanthid you have posted is akin to me saying my Purple Tang Turned into a Naso Tang overnight because I put him in an acrylic aquarium.

P.S. True Story :lol:

This thread cracks me up! Ohhh hey, speaking of crack...mano1192 it's time to put down the pipe

 

[KafudaFish]

Do you have any pictures of the change? One that shows the original polyp changing colors over time and the frag increasing in size.

 

[Chelsey]

In before the lock

I too would like to see a picture progression of the color change.

No nothing zoomed in enough to make out that frag unfortunetly. I did try to get some underskirt pics tho. Theres no white marks like the rpe, but the underside is white also, there are some odd brown marks in irregular patterns on the underside of some polyps, but nothing as disctinct as the rpe white marks.

Exactly what was the time frame that this happened in?? Was it literally over night(like 12 hours) or a matter of days or weeks??

 

[ccorpse27]

Super glue's for fraggin, not sniffin.

I believe the polyp was closed for at least 2-3 days, I thaught it was dead and payd no attention to it in that time, when I noticed the change it was about a week later.

 

[bayreef]

strange morph or what?

 

[reef fanatic]

maybe it was mano's alien connections?

Well your pictures have proven the argument against you. Those are not RPE's at all. They are not even the same species. You must have mounted a polyp you "thought" came from the RPE's but it is OBVIOUS that it did not.

Super glue DOES NOT cause frags to change species, and in my experience, and the experience of 95% of the people on this forum it has no affect on the frag at all. (other than making it stick to the rock!)

Well said.

Congrats on circumventing many thousands of year of evolution in one night with the use of superglue!

 

[sambo123]

yeh the marking on the outsides of the polyps show its two different species, obviously superglue cant make species evolve into another.lol You probably just got it mixed up with another frag.
