[MarvinsReef]

as far as I know there are only so many morphs of PE's that I've been seeing lately.. I'll try to list the ones I know.. if I missed any, please feel free to add and I'll update the main post and maybe sticky it later on...

1. PPE
2. RPE (True and Plain)
3. GPE (True and Plain)
4. Chameleon PE / Zombie PE
5. Desert Fox PE
6. PRPE

**Erased Mystery PE since I thought it was the PE's we see at LFS that morphs into different PE's but I guess there's already Mystery PE's I forgot about.. my bad..

anything I'm missing?

I will try and get some pics tonight of the Pink Pe and Plain Gpe, and maybe the desert foxes, it is like impossible to get a picture of, the polyps are flipped over, facing the cc.

RPE under vho

purple & green PE it should morph to a GPE with purple skirt???under vho

Orange/morphing to pink in the center under bright light.
A few have said that this is not a PE but it has a yellow/green mouth slit.under 10k mh

 

[Azurel]

Don't for get Starry night PE I think Desert fox's can go buy that name too.....

 

[MarvinsReef]

I know more of you has PE's.. show us whatcha got..

 

[gflat65]

I'll try to get some posted later, if I can get some better pics.

When you say mystery PE's that can morph to Desert Fox, Chameleon PE's, etc., you mean different mystery PE's, right?

 

[minibowmatt]

Green Stardust PE

crappy flash pics of GPE and RPE

 

[jonbar1]

Milky Way PE...or so I call it (double polyp)

The less colorful LFS version with Electric Orange PE on the left

Magic PE...I call them that since they magically appeared on a piece of live rock out of nowhere. Unlike Desert Fox types, they get colorless brown splotches over the green disc, as seen on the left polyp

Red Rim PPE on left, Emerald PE on right

Electric Orange PE

Similar to Desert Fox, but without spots

Dull Orange PE

when did you start calling those orange PE's? do you have a comparison picture that shows an orange PE beside a red PE? what lights are they all under?




these are an unknown mystery PE. i only know one place that has them, and dont know a single person who has them

(not my picture)

here is a group shot of some PE's in my tank a couple months ago.
left: PRPE
center: RPE
right: uknown (TPE - Twon's PE's)

IME....PRPE's can vary a TON depending on the light and tank conditions.
left: RPE
center: PRPE frag that came from colony under PC's (pic taken 1 day after putting in my tank)
right: PRPE frag that came from same colony under PC's, but has been under intense 10k MH for several months.

(PRPE frag in middle and right came from exact same colony)

and here is what they look like now under my 250w HQI Radium

The electric orange ones came from Ultimatefrags, and no I don't have any RPE to compare them with. They are under PC lighting, and admittedly more orange in person, but not bright pumpkin orange either. I've seen pics of dull orange RPE and bright fire engine red RPE, so the jury is still out on this one. Had I had an extra $500 when I placed my ReefEnvy order, I'd settle the comparison once and for all.

The dull orange ones, are just that, dull. They are more orange than any other color, but still a dull orangish brownish undesirible color. Under halides, I'd imagine them to be DDB PE.

The Mystery PE above just look like typical "spotless Desert Foxes" under high k or actinic lighting(look at the orange coral next to them).

good points. i'm glad you are aware of the OPE misconceptions. and IMO...i think ultimatefrags is full of it on the OPE thing, and just trying to profit off of the rarity of orange color. they were just riding a recently popular named OPE on ZoaID that is in fact an RPE.

its all about the lighting, as people have mistaken my RPE's as OPE's when they were under 10k's.

i just dont know about those mystery PE's. i do see your point in that they may be a desert fox morph in which the green center has not colored up completely. i may have to buy a frag to find out

**oh yeah, that orange thing on the right is a capenella tree (sp?) its one of those rare soft corals that are very difficult to keep alive in captivity, so the colors in that pic are very accurate of the real thing.

hopefully twon8 will post pics of his "GPE's", as they have recently developed a light blue rim around the green center which is pretty kewl
