RPEs or other?

What kind of People Eater are these classified as? They have the traditional neon green mouth, but the face is somewhat greenish-brown. I will try to get a better pic later.

 

[clockwurk]

green people eaters 4 sure.

Doesnt look like a people eater to me at all. I dont see a slit for a mouth but it's hard to tell in that picture.

It does have a slit in the mouth (neon green) - that is what the green is in the pics (kind of blurry). I will get a better pic tonight

 

[killingseed]

i agree with clockwurk

They might end up being Green Stardust PE's...only time will tell.

They are called Monster Lips not PE's at all. I have the exact one

Monster Lips ARE a PE(Zoanthus gigantus). They just don't say PE in their name. Also there's no way to know that those are in fact ML's. They will more than likely change color.

Its a form of GPE, but more of the regular type. I had a whole colony of these guys before. with low light the green get more abundant but with higher light, you get more pink and some other faint color to occur in the disk. but thats it. I had it for 1 1/2 yrs. They will eat if fed, I used to feed my pellets, brine shrimp etc.

Hehe, that was cool

GPE's (not true GPE's)/GSDPE's/Desert Fox(storm)/and ten or twenty other names can all look like that at some point. They don't all go to each morph, but the ones I've had started the same as those (all frags from different colonies) and morphed into different 'names'.

 

[Jeff]

Back in the day the store keepers used to put "Bali" or "Tonga" in front of the fish names and charge more. Now it's LE or SE at the end of a cute coral name. I dont know how many times people have come over and started talking about some coral in my tank and I have said that I didnt know the name, I just called it the purple palys or the green zoas. Had I known the names years ago, I could have charged more then $10 for a 15 polyp frag of purple death lol...

 

[Cody112]

Ok i got a few better pics... hopefully this helps a little.
The closest i've found were the 'Monster Lips'. Thanks

 

[nUgZ]

They aren't going to be Monster Lips. From that pic they look even more like GSPE's. Give them some time and some light and you'll see.

 

[Cody112]

They don't look as 'faded' in person. I have troubles with my camera taking true colors. I guess i will just wait a while and see what they turn out to look like in my tank.

 

[cardgenius]

Put them in high light and like gflat65 said, theyll morph into one of those names or just stay the same.

 

[livingcorals]

Not a PE... sorry

 

[mixed_reefer]

Sure look like a PE to me.

 

[gflat65]

I have no doubt that it is a Z. gigantus (people eater type)...

Funny thing is I had some really nice zoas at a recent frag swap, but didn't try selling them by names. People would ask, are those such and such, and I'd say I didn't know and they'd lose interest... I buy what I like because of the colors, but it just so happens that many have been named on zoaid. The one thing I like about the naming thing is getting an in-the-ballpark visual (most of the time) instead of an elaborate detailed description (that could be different if told by someone else looking at the same coral). Of course, the naming thing has a lot of negatives, too. Pictures do speak a thousand words...

Than check on the ID site, http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=149

GPE's are really greener. Could they turn into them?
Not sure 100%
I have the GPR and RPE's. The link I just gave is what mine look like.

Could be a Green Stardust PE. Now that i'm going to say yes to.
