New Polyps

[JoshuA c]

Got three or four different polyps for like $24. Is that a good price? I'll have some pics when they open up more

[KAhner]

Depends. I've seen single polyps for like 40 bucks and like 30 polyps for like 20. Just depends on what kind and whats popular and rare at the time.

Good looking zooas. Looks like eagle eyes i think. I have the same ones.

Price is good, check out this site Cherry Corals

i think they are polyps cuz they come of the rocks unlike zoas

[JoshuA c]

would you say that the polyps circled in my picture are the same as the ones in the other picture?

What you have are definitely zoas. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of varieties. People just come up with colorful names that help them to sell. The pics you have are close to the same variety.

Why dis they call this variey eagle eyes? The eyes of actual eagles I have seen are yellow with a black pupil: not orange and green!

If no one buys from them because their prices are high, won't that happen anyway?

My local fish store sells large zoa colonies of like 45-75 for 20-30 very cheap and another one I go to sells 3-4 heads for 30$ so there's always a huge price variation.

Good point indeed!!

Best thing I've found about zoas is the majority of the high priced ones you can get almost identical colors from another type just with a different name..imo your getting scammed if you end up paying the $10-$15 a head that some places ask for

Here are som of my recent zoa acquisitions:

Eagle eyes ($15 at Atlantic Sea Farms - Atlantic Sea Farms featuring ricordia, zoanthids, palyothoa, LPS, SPS.):


Supposedly "snake" zoas. I bought these blind from satwaterfish.com for I think $15. They flouresce green under my blues, but otherwise I think they're kind of ugly:


$10 (+ buy 3 get one free from Aquatic Obsession in Manassas, VA)


Another $10 (+ buy 3 get one free from Aquatic Obsession.) It's pretty much closed up in this pic because I just moved it and epoxied it in place from having fallen:
