According to GB, only one baby polyp ever release on ebay a while back and GMP has never released Master Krakatoa ever since the original head imported by GB.

No I don't know who your GMP supplier.
Look your invoice again if it says Master Krakatoa.
You are making GMP looks bad by doing this because they don't have any Master Krakatoa available anymore for a long time
and here you are claiming getting Master Krakatoa from GMP distributor.
I'll bet your GMP supplier calling it Adonis.

As long as this stays civil we can keep the thread open. The ocean is vast and I know some people take lineage very seriously but let's not turn this into another fight like the SPS guys do lol

True, what Neptune Cove has to offer is a nice zoa and a class right there among the well known named zoa.
It deserves a name of its own and will still selling for the asking price without the master krakatoa name.
Propping and selling it as if it was original master krakatoa from gmp is not right when it is not an original master krakatoa as we know it.

well lets face It XM3Coral - you actually don't know what I have here...
just like I don't know who you are
and you going on assumptions is "not right"
-I don't recognize that you are an authority on zoas & palys
-have you been collecting zoas & palys and naming them since it started in the 1990s
-or do you have a world known zoa & paly ID site- like we have...
please refrain from disrespecting me, when you don't know what the truth is...

But back to the topic.....rather than just openly blast someone in public forumn how bout use a PM and discuss behind closed doors do the thread does not get over ran. Just my .02 and respect for OP's

Sorry if I am sounded disrespecting you.
No it wasn’t my intention.
The op looking for GMP Master Krakatoa and I simply
stating that it is not available.
The proof is in your hand not I because you posting sales thread
and you stand to gain from this action.
It is your right to name any coral you own, but using GMP name
in your marketing scheme to gain profit without their approval is not right.
Plus you are stating this came from GMP when gmp distributor specifically told you
it was not master krakatoa and not gmp product, possibly an Adonis morph.
After talking to Los Angeles distributor that you were talking about it is clear
that this polyp came to you from a customer tank that you tear down because
the customer leaving the country for good.
Yes, this is not master Krakatoa from GMP and you don’t have the right to use GMP
name to gain profit.
Knowing full well what it is and where it came from you still went ahead with the sales thread.
You disrespect yourself and put yourself in this predicament not I.
GMP is a very reputable live coral exporter and will not put themselves in this situation
to deceive consumers.

its clear that they originally came from GMP - thru us, on an order- so- it get its "correct name" and are the Master Krakatoa- enough said
-example:if I got armour of God palys in- I would call them Armour of God
If I got them back from a customer, then they are still the same polyp I sold...
so I dont get your point
and I can use the name- I order from GMP- and they are Kraks from GMP
they originally came from GMP- and they were a GMP product-your not listening...
and Im not doing this for gain profit- or I would Ebay them for $2000pp/ selling them for1/4 of that is a steal!!!
no fighting this time guys- just order, no Ebay war and people feeling left out- youre welcome!!!
this was a thread on ID of the difference- not bash me for having them- or telling me what I have
as far as zoa ID- I have been naming and collecting them since 1990s, and run a comprehensive (non profit) Zoa/ Paly ID site
since 2002- and am well versed on whats what- and what little difference makes them a different name
I am well aware of this topic...

I'm really confused and it's getting kind of weird. So you say you order it from GMP and they say not and now you say you got it in as a hitch hiker. if it a Hitch hiker how you know it the real deal? sorry i'm confuse.

GMP is the source, they do not name corals they just grade them A B C ect. so an grade A rock cost xxx, B cost xxx and so fourth. The middle man names them or whatever they want to do. Then they are shipped to shops and so fourth. These guy dont keep track of corals and will sell the last polyp.
