[twon8]

here was my colony a few weeks after i picked them out.

as you can see, they color up nicely in the right environment

as always, be careful of scammers selling any old pink rim palys as pink elephants...

i saw that earlier today, i dont' have the heart to tell him his "true" zoas are not the real things

 

[organism]

actually, I pm'd him and he ended up being a stand up guy, which completely surprised the heck out of me, props for that dude

Mine actually look a lot like Jims, but they are very bright! BRIGHT PINK and BRIGHT YELLOW. Jafoca has seen them he can chime in and let you all know how nice these things are.

Great thread. Does anyone have any updated pics. I had 3 polyps but am down to one. Would love to see more. Thanks.

I bought this a week ago from steve from new alameda aquatics. He calls them crazy daisies. I think they are bit different from what you have here. The pinks on the skirt is a lot brighter on this one.

i love this paly and probably my one of my top wanted morphs, im in UK and they just dont make it across the pond :(

or so i thought...... so how lucky was i to find a single faded polyp as a hitchiker on a dull brown mushroom rock :)

but wat a heart breaker story this has become cause after the single polyp grew into 6x polyps it then recently bleached white and lost all its colour, followed sadly by 5x polyps dieing..... the 1x polyp remaining has recovered most of its colour now and grown a new bud...... so my fingers and legs and everything is crossed for survival and lots of growth, i might be going a little loopy as i actually sweet talk the little fella to grow some more lol.

Just picked up a frag a while back from Miguel. Still needs a little more coloring up but its legit nonetheless.

It seems that there are a few look alikes, I happen to have another one similar to Pink Elephants. Here are the look alikes.

Probably one of my favorite paly's, and for sure one of the most underated!

 

[MrPhatstacks]

nice looking zoas

 

[ReeferBen]

Mine are getting crowded out by some zoas, I should probably nuke some of the invaders lol.

 

[CoralQueen]

really great looking palys. i think whats most interesting about them is the contrast of colors with the green inside and pink outside. i think the name is definitely a good fit =)

Reliving and old thread...I grabbed a single polyp of these as a hitchhiker on a zoa plug at a coral show. Bonus, there was another small polyp hiding on the plug!
