GB Christmas delight = Oompa Loompas?

Gitsoe · Jan 1, 2012

Correct me if I'm wrong but these look identical.

Pics came from eBay and Exotic Frags

Look very similar to the polyp I got from Zack.

Yes they are the same ones.

jordan3548 · Jan 1, 2012

Same ones I have a rock with about 50 on it. Ive had it for a while now.

I believe they are the same but can't defiantly say anything.

You will find that a lot of popular corals currently in this hobby can be found at GB.

But they are still very nice.
Nice corals are nice corals regardless of their origin and seller.

I agree, Gb has some great stuff.

Same Coral Diff name IMHO. They have been fetching $100 pp on ebay though!

I have a feeling people forgot about Oompa Loompa's and are expecting these to be the next big thing.

Gitsoe · Jan 1, 2012

yea that's what I think also, didn't oompas go for around 30-40 pp ? I'm not sure never had them.

I knew I seen them somewhere before, I couldn't find it for the life of me.

reefhead · Jan 1, 2012

Yeah, thats what i thought when i saw them on ebay.
I do think the purplish color between the orange and green is more prevalent in the GB ones. I think they(GB) look a little better but yeah pretty much same thing.

I haven't forgotten about them. They are awesome. I just don't see anyone selling them. The ones I had melted sadly. I agree they look the same and also that GB has some great stuff.

All of these GB flavor of the month polyps seem to be following a similar pattern. Take scarface and rdpe for instance..... first of his auctions went for hundreds for 1 or 2 polyps....

now he is posting frags of these varieties almost every day. i think its best to wait a while before jumping on any of these GB polyps... prices will come down like crazy, and not from people growing them out!

I also don't like the fact that GB auctions are private. How do I know new polyp releases aren't being inflated by "fake" bidders associated with the seller? Not saying this is happening... but keeping the auctions private definitely leaves the door open for this kind of practice. Questionable if you ask me!

Agree!
Plus those weren't even RDPEs but I still get good deals from gb.
