Pretty cool, first time for me.

Hey, I have a local guy who gave me a frag of some zoas a few days ago that look almost just like those. He didn't know what they were either. I'm pretty sure they are just one of those varieties floating around that nobody has bothered naming. They seem to be growing fast though.

Those are called Royal Purple palys

Thank's for responces. Guy i bought from had them under t5's and WOW did they stand out.

Whether they are named or not they are a really nice looking paly, and that is really all that matters.

They look like crown royals or a morph of royal creamsicles

Zoas and Palys take some time to adjust. In my opinion (IMO) you can only ask for a new name once it adjusts and produces a new offspring different from it's predecessors.

Give it 3 months in a stable environment with a replicable environment and come back to us with a new color strain.

Not trying to be a hard ***, but it seems like everyone with a "new zoa/paly" is coming up with a name now a days.

Better yet, just send me one

and you can name them "How to Shut Fickle Up" palys or HSFU palys. Sorry about the tone in my original message, I didn't mean for it to so high on my soap box.

therman · Mar 28, 2010

Yeah I understand they are Australian. They also bring in a massive pox outbreak every time I've tried them
