I don't think so, I have some and they are much more purple then pink.....JGoslee will be better able to say I think he named them. But from the frag I have I would say no.......Still sweet though.

I moved this to the ID forum since it is a question for a kinda I.D.
 
Thank you for your response AZ and thanks for putting it in a right ID forum for me.


J !!!!!!! Where are you ! :D
 
they looks like Pnoyers to me
 
Thanks J! I have em for almost 3 months now too and haven't seen anything on it yet... they look very similar and if it turns out to be like yours dang I will like it more :).. Thanks J!
 
As I understand... This is the original pic... The website had 2 frags Mecold revieved 1 and I recieved the other. Mecold lost his a while back and contacted me for a replacment.... He was just the person to Name them.

I have had mine over 2 years and depending on the light the will lighten up.. the ones in my tank perfer moderate lower in the tank lighting... They will change depending on location... ;)
 
Mike anytime .. I will pm you when the frag is ready...

Thanks again guys for the input...
 
Man, I was so disappointed when I got those. I got mine from extremecorals. I actually was told they were ppe, and the pic on their site was very hard to see. I paid a pretty penny too. But after they got here, I called and explained my frustration and was basically given them for $50. Then, I noticed pazazz had the same thing. In my tank, they looked really boring, but under 14k or 20k halides, they really look amazing.

Actually Jessiesgrrl named them, and gave me the credit. I am not a big fan of trying to name a coral (self conscious I guess) before offering to sell frags.

I actually only sold them one time, and originally was going to sell them for 15 a polyp, but felt alittle dumb selling a paly that high. So, I think I sent everyone double the polyps and at least two other frags for less than the original asking price. If I had known they looked that bad in Jessies tank after he first got them, I would have refunded him. I do know the four people who I sold them to, and one or two more that I sent them to as a trade. Other than those, I have given some to locals.

Now I have a 5 polyp frag again. This is the third time I have attempted to get them back. The last two were from a local and pazazz. They either disappeared plug and all, or melted. I am ready to throw in the towel on them if this frag doesn't make it.

Pnoy,

Whatever your paly is, it is sweet! I dont think they are the exact same. The pink on them is pretty much relegated to the center. Let me see if I can find some pics of the colony that I had for a couple years.

About 8 months. The clown was mad because it was his bed time and I was using the flash on the camera to take a picture of her bed.

Here is the first pic of them under 14k phoenix halides. This was a frag I gave to a local.

Thanks Mecold for chiming in. ..

I personally dont think mine is look at all the pics that was posted here as mine is at 3 months stage and hasn't change colors ...

I have Oregon sunset and for sure it doesn't look like the one I posted..

Marv - thanks for chiming in as well
 
I don't know if they are the same, but I would like to get a frag of the oregon sunset for "evaluation" purposes :)
 
I have both also so I'll take a comparison shot... and I'll have them side by side... :)
