I've noticed alot of talk about the PPE's but haven't seen any on these. Do many of you have them?

Nice RPE's there. Those are the more known version of the RPE's. some versions out there don't have the darker circle around the green slit. and have lighter lines on the oral disk. Go sized colony there. I had a decent size colony but got whipped out by zoa pox before furan was found. Now I'm starting out with 1 polyp and has grown just a bit under 10.
 
not the best pic of mine but here is some of the ones i have i gave 6 or 6 frags of these in the tank...you have a nice size piece there they seem to grow pretty fast

Yes, they have done very well over the last six months. Before that I thought I had lost them. I started off with a small frag of 3 or 4 heads if I recall. I'll find the pic of them.

Here they are when I first got them.

I got mine at MACNA last year. They've grown well for me on the bottom corner of my tank. Here they are under the actinics:

...and another shot I took under the same light but after I set the custom white balance to that dead coral skeleton the PPE's are on:

I love RPEs.
