btw e top right hand one 2nd frm e top looks nice.. mayb u shld hv take a bigger pic..

Which one is purple death?

The 2nd 1 from top right hand side (pink colour) is actually from 'Fragmaster'...

First one on the top right hand side is the same one you were asking from Lemon... It's the African blue zoa from SL.. Mine also broke apart and left with only 3 polyps..

Finally managed to lay my hand on this rare gem...

post-14934-1239471965.jpg

It's extremely shy and very small (only around 1.5cm in length)..

I've been feeding it Henry's food and Kent Marine ZooPlex.. not sure if it is actually eating (too difficult to observe as it is hiding behind some rocks in my nano)..

Any advice on its care?

It's not whether they are indo or watever zoos...you managed to make them look wow! :ooh:

Your tank is an inspiration to me and it proves that softies and LPS dominated tank can look just as good as a SPS dominated tank, if not, better...(thumbs up)

Red/Orange PE

post-14934-1239723752.jpg

Dunno what oso..

huh? bro... do you mean to say red PE is very ex or it's one of the more affordable??

i've got like lotsa of these, and i almost gave them away... i also peeled off a small part from the main colony to put on a frag plug (to test test)... haha..

good thing the main colony is still doing well.

red PPE do appear time to time..(it actually depends on wheere e farmer digs e coral from)

if they harvest finish e spot mayb hv to wait a while b4 they find PPe in e sea againz..

but u must c carefully.. cus sometimes e reds r not so red..

normally is dull red..

put ur red to higher spot they might bcum magicians like mine..

white dots may appear ard e mouth of e poylps..

red PPEs r damn hardy lahz..

i accidentaly slice one of e poylps it heal back on e spot..

but tht doesnt apply to other corals stuning them...

hi chamty, hope you dun mind if i use your thread... since we're on the topic of red PE...

this is my rock of Red PE... pardon my ignorance, but is this similar to what you posted earlier?

post-13920-1239801275.jpg

you see the empty patch in the middle?? haha... this is where i tore off some of the polyps.

Why did i do it?? coz i thought the black face zoas are nicer... haha.. (wanted to give the black face more room to grow)...

but i have to admit... you are right... nowadays we really do not see much of these...

btw, do you have any frags that you wish to exchange?? i've posted in Want To Trade/Exchange forum... some zoas that i have for swop...
