Sopranos, are they still out there?

If you find some keep them in one happy spot and dont frag until you have at least 15+.

Didn't realize such drama surrounds this zoa. Kind of sad since it is such a new coral.

Well I personally think they should atleast be sold as 2nd generation Sopranos or something. Selling fakes as legits is just wrong!

The originals melted like crazy. These Look-Alikes dont melt as fast,hince why they are being sold more often in larger quantities.

I think the originals are still out there,but just very scarce. I think the owners of them dont want to post because how many messages they would get about them if they did....

I agree,selling un linaged stuff as ligits IS WRONG!

Nice pictures Dirt-nasty!!!!I like them!

Here WERE mine before they melted. You might remember a couple months back I had a thread seeking advice on what to do to try and save them. BTW- they came from dirtnasty, not sure if these are what others are referring to as frauds, but zoagirl did verify these and I believe the 1st pic in this post was actually from her (could be wrong).

I don't know the whole story but from the pics and every thing I saw it looked like a wild colony showed up got chopped and sold off..... I don't know zoa girl personally and if they didn't come off the original colony how could they fetch the name and price tag???? Just saying I'm sure they look a like but weren't the real deal IMHO.... Nor do I really care ahahahahah that's why I never got into z&ps..... Just my 2...

A saw someone recently on manhattanreefs selling them for like $700, but refused to post a pic. Very questionable.

secretreefer · Apr 20, 2011

most definitely. i would not buy anything (unless it's from a vendor i already did business with and trusted) without a pic. was that $700 per polyp???? that's insane! maybe that was for 7 polyps?

lps1212 · Apr 20, 2011

yea that was very questionable on mr i dont remember that sale but i remember one on here for 3 polyps at 500 without shippin or no shippin maybe something like that some guy in jersey had em posted

secretreefer · Apr 20, 2011

yeah i saw that. couldn't produce pictures. whazzup wit dat? man idk how people can think they can sell anything without pics. even with pics people still have questions about my PE's

Hey I had people killing me cause I did not want to ship my sopranos. I was willing to drive a hr+ away from San Diego to meet people and give them there frags so that they had more chances of the frags to live. I was called shady because I did not want to ship. I ended up shipping but with no guarantees.

secretreefer · Apr 20, 2011

yeah bro i hear ya, you just can't make people happy even though you're trying to accomodate them. can't believe they called you shady when you were willing to drive +1hr away!!

Troylee · Apr 20, 2011

I think it was because you asked for a id on them you didn't have any linage.... Not because of the shipping.... That's what I got from it anyways...

dirt-nasty-510 · Apr 20, 2011

I provided linage I purchased the frags from a local reefer that purchase his original frag from Aquasd. When posted the ID pic it was a crappy I mean crappy pic that is why I wanted an ID then I saw them in person I knew what they were. But anyways that is a old story all frags are gone and I am not here to sell any. None the less keep looking I know they are still out there. I know couple people in SD still have some and when I get them to release some I will post a pic of mine

As stated not selling nor do I have any for sale I don't even have any in my tank.
