"True" Green people eaters?

Chelsey · Apr 23, 2007

So if "True" red people eaters have the purple around the mouth, would a "true" green people eater have it too? I picked up a colony of GPE yesterday and they've got the purple around the mouth. I'll post pics in a bit.

pics dont work now. I dont remember seeing purple in them So these are not true anymore

Those are true RPE's. Purple around the mouth.

msman825 · Apr 23, 2007

those in that pic are black, and black veins running across the skirts. Might be cause i have them in the shade. Thats a act shoot above just moved them out for a pic But i'm sure the black would faded in direct light though

here's a pic of True GPE's I got from The Beaut...

I fragged a single polyp off the colony prior to dipping it (the place I got them from was swarming with nudis, don't worry, it's not where it can affect any of my other zoas

) in case the colony got aggravated and wouldn't open. Glad I did now, the single polyp is open and happy and while the colony is still healthy it's mad and not open. I'll post pics very soon, I just moved the polyp so that I could get a better pic

Either way those are extremely nice! I did notice the vein of black around the skirt but thought it was the lighting. Have you tried fragging a couple polyps and placeing them in higher lighting? I would be interested in seeing what they morph into.

I have never done anything to those but glue 2 polyps that d hoch sent me too the rock . And throw in the shade. I will take a couple polyps from them tomorrow now though

Here's the one polyp I fragged off before dipping the whole colony:

Please excuse the curious pod and the open mouth, it's just smiling

very nice Chelsey... awesome pick up... seems like there's more coming out now of these.... man, it took me a year to find mine...

but I hope they do okay after the dip... PE types IME don't like to be dipped...

looking forward to seeing the whole colony...

Well, as I said, the store was CRAWLING with nudis, so I had to dip them. They're in isolation until I'm POSITIVE that everything is gone. I hope they come out of the dip ok, but I felt that I had no choice
