Same Zoanthid?

[minibowmatt]

Are these two the same?

 

[msman825]

I'd say so

 

[vetteman]

OK then......I'll say no..

 

[minibowmatt]

Now stop being difficult. I got the top rock for 19$. The bottom rock, was a little more expensive... Guess which one was sold by name?

 

[vetteman]

oh yah.......the bottom one looks way mo betta

the bottom one

 

[minibowmatt]

yes. But why? Same size polyps same coloration. Bought the first one a month+ ago, the others hit the scene about 2-3 weeks ago...
Granted my photo skills arent the best, but they really do look almost identical.

 

[msman825]

i think i see a polyp on the left in the first pic with a green center. am i right

 

[minibowmatt]

yes you do. Thats a different zoa. Its growing on the rock next to the reds...

 

[msman825]

well i was going to say theres a Morph a dite in the family HALF PRICE :hammer: did they come from the same place

 

[minibowmatt]

no. two different sides of the country...

 

[msman825]

kinda strange the bigger frag was cheaper. well i like them both so sounds like you had a good score. Maybe they just desided they had to go. very nice either way you put it

 

[minibowmatt]

I think it is simple marketing. People are soo into the names now. AS soon as something has a name, its immediatly worth more... I got the first frag at a LFS form a tank full of 19$ frags. The other I traded for, but it was originally sold as organisms. (not knocking you Miguel )
I didnt think they were the same when I was acquiring them.

If they are the same or not..I like 'em both! Do you sell/trade stuff? We're kinda close.
