2 min on there and i can find it if it has a name, they are a basic morph if thats what your after and a deepwater species, u can find the same zoa on 20 store sites with 20 different names

it isnt shown, and the reason i say you can find the polyp on alot of sites with alot of names is stores\people want to name them as their own, they are a nice morph but not in the supposed price higher range zoa's, plus same zoa in 10 tanks will look a little different or morph into a different pattern or color

naw understandable, why in the 6 years of collecting zoa's i never really got into the name hype much, i do know names of most and use to to help identify of know what is being sold, lol 100+ different morphs later i still never had any hornets, and rare is a term used to hype a sale, for every 1 colony hitting NY there are a hundred or more going every where else, so when you look at the bigger picture, really isnt much rare, personaly id never pay more then $20 a polyp for the supposed higher named zoa's actually most i paid was $50 for 3 polyps, i buy what i like and want unless i think the price isnt where it should be, then ill wait for it to come to reg pricing or do some trading

Were on the same page there, names mean nothing to me other than to organize things a little. I like different patterns or morphs for being different, not because theyre supposedly LE. I just look for the oddballs or something sweet looking. The only "LE" zoa we have is a magician but theyre effin sweet looking so ill pay 15 or 20 a polyp

yea I agree I never know names..it's green,it's red n blue,it's nice looking lol thats how I name them. I think it's worth what you are willing to pay. Like I could say those are nice but not 50 a polyp nice lol Zoaid is more confusing than helpful sometimes I see 4 diff names and they all look the same to me. It's damn near impossible to tell the difference sometimes. Also like Rick said there is so many morphs and they morph in people's tanks so you can never know exactly what they are sometimes even if you are one of those guys who knows all the names. Magicians are awesome though I love those. I need some now I lost mine in my crash. Anybody anybody? :biggrin:

And sometimes its just fun to name your own! :-D

One day I will be able to understand why certain types are much more pricey than others. Being in Finance I understand supply and demand, but those hornets and rasta prices are crazy to me sometimes. JMO
