Bowser Palythoa?

[alb_56]

So ive been trying to track down a bowser palythoa and ive gotten to the point of getting ready to buy one and I need some input on them before I complete the transaction. First how EXACTLY do you identify them as being The bowser paly and not just some morph pf candy apple? Second what are the specific requirements for keeping this SPECIFIC palythoa? I have many Zoanthids and Palyhtoas already that have shown good growth and continued good health so im not overly distressed about my systems ability to keep them alive, but i am overly concerned about the fact that i know literally no one that actually owns this coral other then the people trying to sell it to me, so I have no one to help guide in keeping it healthy.

1st buy from someone reputable
2nd read the thread about bowser and look at all the pics.
My experience candy apple reds develop yellow on some peoples tanks and when taken out of those tanks they turn red after a few months. Bowsers will stay orange on anyones tank.

+1 on what Josh said... As far as placement in my experience, they like higher light and a little higher flow than other palys.

Cornbred has some for sale on ebay right now. Also I think LPS1212 has a full colony.
