They look like some kind of PE but not RPE.

Ill try to get a close up shot of the polyps when they open. There like brownish.

Here are some more pics.

deffinately not rpe, you can see the greenish hue on the oral disc, not reddish like these

 

[currentking]

these are RPE

 

[FateX8]

man your mouths are a lot bigger than mine

So what do you think? Not named? I got them for 60 bucks, ripoff or what?

well they are nice in their own way, there are a lot of heads so the price is about fair. for true RPE's with that many head you might have pay 4 times more sense frage disk with like 10 heads can cost around 80

Nah I plan on keeping some and maybe trading the rest.

Thanks

They are mosat likely Green people Eaters or Green Stardust People Eaters.
They will continue to color up under high lighting. Mine went from brown the most neon green under high t5 lighting. They then devoloped a bluish skirtand outer ring with white speckles in the center. The colony i have in my nano just turned very dark neon green. Every time i see these int he store they look like yours. 60 bucks is not a bad price if you got a large colony.
Here is a pick of the ones in my nano. let me try and find a pic of what they continue to morph into.

I took some shots real quick so you could see what they eventually turn into if under these lighting conditions. Sorry i didnt feel like setting everything up to get great shots. These ones you see here went from looking all brown with just the green mouth to these in about 2 months. I can't wait to see how far they will morph.

 

[IBMGeek]

WOW!! If it turns into that then im definetely keeping them. Thanks

I have the same ones. Got them on ebay from zoafrags.com. They named them "Hawaiian Punch".

Keep them and see if it changes color.

Shoot that is a nice big rock of cool polyps, I would keep them no matter what they turn into. You don't see rocks that big with PE type polyps that often any more......I think you might like them once they morph a bit......

Here were mine before I took them out of the nano. They looked just like yours when I got them. RPEs tend to look more solid brown without the green sheen when they come into our local "wholesale store".

 

[IBMGeek]

How long did they take to turn that color?

 

[redsonja]

I got a rock similar to that a month or so ago, and they've turned into something very close to the picture Pitcom posted. Mine had about 6 RPE polyps on it that I didn't even notice until I got them home, so I was very happy with my $34.00 purchase. On the other hand my $45.00 Envy Orange rock is down to a dozen polyps from about 60 so you win some, you lose some...

And I agree with the above comments, they're pretty whatever they're "named."
