Cherry Coral White Walker Zoas

Not sure where they came from but who's to say that they couldn't be collected from the wild again? This whole exclusivity thing just seems a bit silly to me. But to each his own. They definitely are awesome polyps.

I still share but only to those in the inner circle now and to folks that I've thoroughly researched on their history, I don't give to people that I know sell a lot or have a history of being a seller in the hobby. Saw the GWVs so I only chimed in and wanted to tell the story in this. So in the future when you get this polyp you know what the story about is and see the darker side of reefkeeping where folks are there just for profiteering and gain.

I can understand setting requirements for giving them out for free, but keeping them in the bay area only, seems like something that is kind of rude and elitest. People are capable of keeping a promise just as easily in other places, and just because you cannot keep tabs on every move they make, just points to being overly paranoid.

Zoas usually grow out pretty easily in most systems, if you really cared about not having them hyped and overpriced, you should have sold them for a dollar or two a polyp, then they would be more readily available, in more systems as a cheap polyp, rather than you saying that you knew this would happen, but still decided to do it anyway, and being upset that they are charging this much for them.

It was a local program where I was located in, it was meant for people that could comply with the requirements set forth before they could receive the item. If they couldn't comply then it was mentioned to them ahead that don't bother asking for it if you couldn't meet the requirements. I was going to send some to Mucho in the east but was running with issues personally and tank issues that I couldn't do so. Again with the $$$ thing, I 've said multiple times there was no money nor gain intention, ( NOT A SINGLE PENNY) with this specific polyp as I didn't want it to receive the high priced hype etc that I've seen happen in this hobby time and time again.

there was nothing elitest about it, that was the program in the bay, I wasn't going to send out to individuals to other states that I didn't know that could comply to my requirements. IF people couldn't keep their promises already within the location what guarantee did I have with individuals outside the program and folks that I really didn't know. Paranoia was actually correct that it did get out and people were doing things they promised they were going to do and broke to be able to attain said polyp. Before you make any judgement on me, you don't know me nor what I have done for others in the hobby, not just for folks in the forums but for others that in the hobby but don't go on forums.

I'll stop at that as all this is doing is just hyping that coral as well. If you have any questions on things or further discuss this we can take it on PM I have no problem with that. PEACE

Sorry for derailment OP.

Are you really attacking the guy for giving away something for free? Seriously? I commend him for giving away such a awesome coral and not asking for a penny in return. We need more of this in the hobby as far as I'm concerned.

Not for giving it away for free, just the way that he was reacting to it getting out of the bay area.

Not sure, but I did get them from the Bay Area. I don't exactly go around trying to verify the lineage of Sunny Ds and Rastas, so not sure what the big hassle about this one it.
