I noticed this single Palythoa polyp on an Australian lordhowensis colony.

Anyone have an idea of what it is?

I noticed it right away, but could not get a good shot of it. But today when I was posting a pic of the lords, there is was starring me in the face.

It's purple with a Green diamond in the middle.
 
Sorry can not take my eyes off of the Lords.:) Seriously though it looks unusual.
 
That is cool as heck Randy! Put me in line for a frag! LOL!
 
Awesome hitchhiker for sure....but man those acans are so amazing.
 
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

























"Randy's Ultra Rare Australian Paly"
 
Forget the paly. Show us more pics of your lords!! :D
 
Randy, that palythoa is sweet but man, those Lords are what a lot of us have been waiting for. Whats the deal? Frags WHEN???
 
I just assumed the Paly would be what people were interested in going by the name of this website.

But since you've pulled my arm :)

Here's a few of my Aussie Acans

That first one is bright yellow and green, but the yellow does not show up well in the photos.

And you'll have to excuse the poor quality. My camera was not on the tripod very well, and after 2 shots if fell off and the outer lens popped off. So I guess I'm in the market for a new Camera.


I'm off to attempt to take more shots of the others. :)

there was a sweet rock of palys (same type of paly as mish-mash/PD/NG) I picked up from the Australian shipment that came in.......the colour ain't too special...more of a bright tan/beige, on a dark background, plus a line that makes it look like a cat-eye.....I know, it doesn't sound too amazing, but it's a 100% Australian, so i had to get it! LOL....will post a pic soon

again, nice score on the aussie acans, Randy!....i've got a frag of that red/pink/orange acan lord ready to trade for a piece of that lemon acan (your first pic)...have no idea how it'll get to you (and vice versa)...oh well ;)

oh yeah...you might want to plan your trip back up to Toronto asap!...both of the stores that brought in the Aussie Acans are bringing them in again...in fact, one store is sending someone to hand-pick a few pieces...he leaves in about 2 weeks (it's Jay - you met him, right?)....god...it's gonna be crazy....hand-picked aussie acans - can it get any better!?! LOL

Hey Zach,
Of course I know Jay and Jensen. :) Had a nice visit with them this past Saturday. Jay said he was leaving this week for Indonesia, but I dont recall him saying he was going to Aussie land to pick lords. He did say they were getting more lords in a few weeks, but I was under the impression it was a normal shipment, not hand picked.
I could be wrong.
