I think they are pretty common, but nice. Looks like a nice full colony. ;)
 
I have a feeling they are going to be a big surprise....I recently bought a pretty plain colony but I like taking chances, especially if the price is right. I am giving them good husbandry practices, regular water changes and Vitamin C daily. Mine turned out to be a HUGE colony of Ringed People Eaters and they are still coloring up...had them about 16 days now. The rings started showing up the first week and now I'm seeing the mouths turning bright green. Can't wait to see what they look like in another month or so.
 
What the heck about the Vitamin C thing ? I heard it before...but still doesn't make sense.
Can you give me the link about this Vit C thing ? :cry:

Just go to the zoa forum here and you'll see a thread about half way down about Vitamin C. I'm friends with Pufferpunk and she's the one that got me hooked on using vitamin C. I dose slightly less, but I am happy with the way it works for me. Everything colors up nicely...I haven't had any problems with Pox or fungus since I started.
 
UPDATE: 02/22/2009

The paly is getting more metallic blue color and has yellow center. Not too mention it has reddish skirt on it.

What do you think ?

Skirt color is way off to be Papa Smurfs, but you haven't had them that long so it may change to the yellowish skirt of the PS's. Can you tell me if you have striping on the outside of the polyp. If you do, I'm guess they will eventually develop green mouths with the right care. Nice find.
