I actually just bought a frag... it'll be here Thursday. I find their look highly appealing, having a whole colony would be awesome!

can we get a pic or link for these? I thought the "envy orange"/"orange envy" were really really rare?

 

[xiongaquatics]

Nice Amore 169 those look like the real deal. I had a 3 polyp frag of the original Envy Oranges from Reef Envy that were $400 a polyp and most of the ones I see now have little black lines on the paly. The real deal were orange as could be with no black lines on the face. Most I have seen since are just faded RPEs.

Thanks guys
coralfan45, Absolutely no comparison to an RPE. They are bright orange, the striations come from variations in lighting.
This is my second round. The first were solid until they hit my tank. They went to buddies tank w/ T5s they turned solid again.

Heres a BAD pic they glow orange. I really liked my VDM's and these are up there if not edging them out in how they glow in the tank.

envy orange.

I let go of 2 polyps in early May. This is all I have left.

great pick up Alex... definitely a nice addition to any PE collection... I'm glad that divers finally brought some in for the trade...

 

[Cherish]

Any suggestions as to the best placement of them? I can't seem to get mine to open consistently.

Mine seem to like indirect light the best they nice and plump. Just like my orange yuma's they do not like getting blasted with light.

Thanks Marv, I am glad to see them around. The orange envy's i believe are solomon/aussie native's.
