FS/FT Large polyp Anthelia

Gordonious · January 12, 2009, 4:09am

This is a pretty fast growing softy. I received a frag from KaptKen who originally purchased a small frag from ECA for $20.

Price $13

As far as for trade I am really only looking for some super rare stuff. I would prefer $, but if you have any of the below I will trade and possibly even add some $ to make it an even trade if needed.
ORA Red Planet Table Acro
ORA Joe the coral
Green Monti Cap
Super man Monti
Super girl Monti
Darth Maul Zoanthids
Purple Hornet Zoanthids
perhaps some others… let me know what you have

I should have another frag ready next month, so if you miss out on this one just let me know and I’ll let you know when more is ready.

Hey Jon, I cant say if they are for sure, but look at these…

They look awfully like the purple hornet zoas, and at about 1/1000 of the price.

Those purple hornets are a joke! Who in their right mind would pay hundreds of dollars for one polyp? Dont get me wrong, they are awesome, but so are a million other LE zoos that you can get for $5/polyp.

icy1155 · January 12, 2009, 4:19am

Not to mention the fact that they appear to be photoshopped in almost every pic I have seen. Has anyone seen one of these under actinics? Somehow in the actinic pictures they have the exact same glow as green, but they are yellow in normal light?

i want a frag of the blue bullseye ones on that site man they are nice. does anyone have theses? i would pay $15 for a frag of these

system · January 12, 2009, 5:02am

As soon as i setup my frag, im going to start picking up some LE zoos. Spidermans are my favorites and will be first.

Gordonious · January 12, 2009, 5:14am

Those look pretty different to me Icy, so I know they are not the same. I’d like some just the same though as they are pretty nice looking, but not worth the shipping unless I could find them local.

As far as the photoshopping of the purple hornets I know a guy who has seen the mother colony in person. He said they look exactly like that in person, but commented that the polyps were pretty small. He was supposed to give his friend my e-mail addy so I could get in contact with him directly, but no luck yet.

system · January 12, 2009, 5:41am

From what i understand, and i could be mistaken, all of the purple hornets originate from the one seller on ebay. He is the one and only.

Gordonious · January 12, 2009, 5:52am

Yup he is a transhipper in San Fran and friends with a wholesaler who is the rep for Premium. Guy has a 300-250g display tank at home with an Achilles tank. So jealous! BTW he is also a huge proponent of something called quarantining.

martinfaimly · January 12, 2009, 12:57pm

do you have any of the electric blue anthelia? seen on dr macs site. might have to wait till we go to macs. i want to try the blue verse the pink.

Gordonious · January 12, 2009, 3:29pm

I have some blue, but the peices I have are a long ways off from being ready for sale. Not sure what it is about them, but they seem to be touchy.

THose zoas are worth the 12 dollars even though they are not purple hornets.

Gordonious · January 12, 2009, 10:47pm

Sold verdict_in

See you at the meeting.

I’ll let you know when I order from them next

Gordonious · January 13, 2009, 6:23am

They look cool, I’d be willing to try some of them. Always looking for different zoas.

Ento_Reefer · January 19, 2009, 2:57am

I’ll take some of the Anthelia. I could trade some pink and green zoas or xenia. I could also frag my pink millie and my ora green birdnest. Just let me know what you are interested in.

Gordonious · January 19, 2009, 3:58am

No way you’ll be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow night? I was trying to get another frag to attach, but my clean up crew keeps moving my rubble rock away from the mother colony and it isn’t attaching. I’ll have to check of my last attempt was successful. I would be interested in any of them above.

I also have some tiny pieces of ORAs Hyacinth Birdnest(broke off during shipping) which are currently in one of my qt tanks which I am waiting from them to attach. Perhaps we could trade a tiny piece of Hyacinth birdnest for a tiny piece of green of equal size? I believe they retail for the same price. Prefer attached or lose?

Yeah I will be there. I can cut you a piece of the green and some of the pink millie. I would love the piece of the hy. Loose is good so that I can just glue it to my rock. Is it okay if I leave your frags loose?

Gordonious · January 19, 2009, 5:29am

Yeah, lose is best for me when it comes to SPS frags. The piece of Hyacinth Birdnest I would be able to bring would be 3-4cm long and unmounted. Tiny little bit.
