I say Aquasd's are the real thing. Though my camera didn't grab the deeper purple you can plainly see the inner yellow/green and outer purple skirts. Mouth parameter is the same purple shade as the outer face.

I completely agree. The frag that I got from Will continues to color up and is doing great. It won't take long before they look almost identical to others. Very beautiful specimen.

Here are mine from Marvin. What kind of flow and lighting do these guys like?

IME, they like a lot of light to maintain the bright purple/yellow... I would keep them higher up on your tank Tom... and give them decent flow... the frags I had were on a frag rack directly across Vortech MP40... good luck with them... :)

that guy that sold those was on RC....he said they were from Aquaden...there was a little back and forth and people got banned...never ending up being the truth...and i am almost 100% positive they arent from marv...look nothing like his stock and he only traded a few pieces in the last year. Give them some time and they will hopefully color up...that was a good deal if you won it via the auction on ebay.






Looks like some of Marvin's have trickled down to me too! :)
