[blackheart]

Does anyone have a picture of these and know where to get them?

I just picked up some fire and Ice zoa which are very nice but dont have th rich blue i am looking for thanks guys

 

[acrylic_300]

I found these at the LFS

 

[blackheart]

how much did they put you back?

And what is a normal price for these

 

[acrylic_300]

$25 for 25 polyps...I live in a fairly rural area. Im sure if you look around enough you can find some.

 

[RevHtree]

If its nice blues you want you can get a 15-20 polyp frag for $20.00 of some bright carribeans.

 

[blackheart]

ok I'll take them. I am assuming you have a few frags in your tank?? I would be really thankfull

[RevHtree]

No I dont have any for sale, but here is a place to get some nice carribean blues that look better IMO.

And just for those who weren't aware, not all blue zoos are Tub's blues.

Bright blue zoo's 25 for 25 bux? NO WAY! I paid 12/polyp for mine from Atlantis. But they are Tubs Blues too. I saw the price is now 15/polyp.

 

[RevHtree]

Good point Viper there may be some that think that.

Quick Explanation. Tubbs was a guy who got his hands on a nice blue colony, named them after himself, and there you have it. Basic explanation, but true.

The other Blues are called God's Blues, since he made them...

 

[RevHtree]

Yes cwegescheide, and he usually throws in another whole frag for free. Plus they do cheap shipping.

 

[acrylic_300]

I don't know if mine are tub's or not...but they are blue under any light . The less actinic the brighter they get.

The other blues that I have purchased were suppose to be blue I just dont see it compared to these.

I can see why they might be more expensive because they grow slower than any I've seen. I didn't hesitate to fork over the $25 and I would have paid $50.

I wouldn't pay $12 per polyp for anything...sounds like Enternet-bull....

Here is a better pic...

those are some sweet blues. Im going to have to pick a frag up for myself. Ill keep you guys posted.

 

[blackheart]

yeah those are all real nice but i am with acrylic_300, I cant pay 12/polyp and pay for shipping its crazy. you talking 70 dollars for three polyps when its all said and done and you still dont know if you are getting real blue polyps or not.

My LFS also hoards all thier zoas says how they need to propigate them first so maybe some time around next x-mas we will talk about it.

I dont know i will keep looking and maybe run into some. For a REASONABLE price. Anyway, nice zoas all and I myself will keep looking.

I was under the impression that the blues were really hard to come by. Glad to see that there are deals to be found.

 

[RevHtree]

They were alot more "rare" to come by in the past. The tubbs are so high because your paying for a name brand, like NIKE for example. There are also many different morphs. I find them all to be beautiful!

 

[acrylic_300]

These that RevHtree posted are what I call Tubb's

Because the skirts have little green dots that form a circle around it.

very sweet...
