Is there any way to reduce the shipping for just 1 frag? I lived in Chicago. Are they guaranteed live arrival?

Looks like I've got a polyp coming from a friend. I love this hobby!

I think the jury is still out... if you look at the photos on zoaid some have a more even (smooth) center around the mouth, while others the ribs do go down to the mouth.
One thing that I do notice is that the OE photos on zoaid appear to be fully mature (large) polyps. The ones I got from Perry all are medium sized right now, so it will be interesting to see how they develop that texturing as they get large and fat.
The most convincing photo is the Juan Carlos photo, the 4th shot on zoaid look at the bottom polyp of that frag, you have some darker contrast around the base of the skirts and the ribs go all the way to the mouth in those. The main difference in mine and the photos Rev took appear to be the lack of the darker border around the mouth. Short of that developing later, I would say they are kissing cousins, if it develops I think we could call them genuine. While the skirts on that same polype are shorter and more of a bulb and the orange color is more orange than neon orange, they are VERY close.
Lighting and flow and a few months in a tank could bring them closer, or separate them further...

1000% agree with this post. Mine have not shown any darkening around the mouth in any way shape or form. I'm also interested to see how the color will change in some time but I'm on the side of these not being the real thing. Probably as close as it gets though. I still think they are sweet and I didn't get one with the idea that they were real. If the darkness doesn't show up on the mouth I think they should be renamed Ultimate Envy Orange as they seem brighter than the pics on Zoaid.
