Happy People Eater

goody · Mar 25, 2011

Thought I'd post this here if anybody hasn't already seen them. I couldn't pass them up for the price. What do you all think, Magician Morph/Blue Agave Morph? If this needs to go in the ID section, then mods, please move.
Happy People Eater is the neatest new Zoanthid we’ve seen in a while

Personally I'm thinking SM (similar morph) to Blue Agave, but that is just my opinion.

Looks awesome Brian- can't wait to see your pics though- don't get me wrong, I'm a blue glow lover, but I can't make ID's worth beans when the lighting/photo is that blue'd out.

and for what it's worth- you're mostly talking about it, the ID is a secondary thing so I have no problem having it here- we need to get club Zoa rocking again!

Amen to that ^. This forum is d.e.a.d.

drainbamage · Mar 25, 2011

ya know what- it's actually not that bad. Look at the front page of this forum- all the threads showing on the front page have an entry from within a week. Maybe not super active, but not that shabby either.

errr- sorry for sidetracking your thread Goody, I'll shut up now and await the pics of those! You have nice pic skills so can't wait.

If you scroll down the page,there is a link that takes you to a better/truer photo he has on facebook.

Those are beatiful. They definitely remind me of a blue agave morph, and for $10 a polyp you can't go wrong.

Those are pretty cool. I like the yellow tipped alternating tentacle. Pretty neat find, I'll have to get some one day....

Didn't see the link to facebook, so I can't compare to those. I was in on the GB. The white on the skirts depend on the polyp, some have lots of white while others don't. Most have a moderate amount of white, don't know if they color up after a few months, I've only had them for 2 days. Sweet magician looking z for the price, don't see the people eater connection though. He ships in damp newspaper, so if you have a problem with that...

People eater connection is because they exhibit the characteristics of a people eater, not a magician. I.e. vivid green mouth and white striping on the polyps when they are closed. Magician polyps lack both the green mouth and the white striping on the polyps when they are closed.

Not wanting to be rude, but they don't have any green. Just red and white.

I see a green mouth...

I can and will, just have to wait until the lights turn on, roughly 1.5 hours

Don't get me wrong sweet zoa. Couldn't wait until lights turned on, so I turned them on. Guess they do have a green mouth. Lights 20k Evo LEDs. Camera Nikon CoolPix S610.

Whites only, no white adjustment

Whites/Blues, white adjustment
