I ended up doing a trade with Marvin and the only thing I asked in return was something good, and something with speckles.

Boy ohh boy did he deliver! I ended up getting...

Purple Deaths
Nuclear Greens
PPE
Speckle PE version 1
Speckle PE version 2

He pretty much knocked out my top 5 in one shot. The PPE was open within 1hr of me getting it and the other zoas opened up right before my last set of T5 lights turned off. He made my collection go from nice to look at, to something worth attention.

Marvin is the Godfather of zoas, make him an offer and he will reply with one you can't refuse. :D

BTW, I don't do shipping trades, just don't like the hassle of doing it! But he may have just changed my mind on things.

LoLz.. you're funnie bro.. :)

Thanks for the kudos though... you're the one that was very generous to ship the lighting first.... I just returned the favor... with the lighting, I hope to grow the higher end zoas and palys and be able to share them to more people...

now, let's see them pics.. :D

I apologize for taking so long to take pics. Marvins frags arrived in very good shape, but I battled some tank issues during that time. So here are some pics of what Marvin Clause traded me. BTW, all these palys & zoanthids grandis are eager to eat.

By the way the top left, or pic #1, was being eaten by something in my tank. I had a few open polyps at one point in time but they started to look lazy after some time. I recently moved them away from my sandbed/rocks and the main polyp is look great, and the babies are starting to recover.

Marvin did the same thing to me. We were trading some micro's for Paly's and when he dropped em off I was blown away.

He is a very generous individual.

wow.. those pics are awesome looking.. :)

they look happy in your tank Luciano.. the PD, PPE, and Nukes are looking good.. I'm surprise the PPE hasn't thrown any babies for you yet... and it looks like you're giving it lots of light.. ;)

Stoney.. man, that was nothing compare to the micros you gave me and in line to trade me.. you got some other morphs coming.. :D
