i have no idea.. i think my LFS said its like neon green zoos.. said its rare and 1 polyp sells for about 10 bucks. they are really fast growers. if ur in the area i can frag and give u a polyp or two. i am in NJ

nothing wrong with the color, its bright. I just feel bad that the LFS ripped him off saying $10 a polyp. even my Ice whites that ARE rare as hell only go for $15. they are a great color but you can usually pick up a fist sized rock with 30-40 polyps for about 25-30 bucks.

MAN...so many LFS do this...it makes me glad sometimes that I don;t have one....the NOTSO LFS that I visit is a very nice honest person....doesn't have much though

Those are actually pretty rare. Those are called nuclear green polyps and they go for a lot of money.

I'd pay 2X as much for honesty. if they say it cost this, this and this for me (the store to ship in) and maintain you calculate other overhead and loss. saying "its worth 10 polyp" is far worse that saying "I have to charge 10 a polyp to cover my costs and stay a float"

you can buy the same thing for half as much without the name and name them yourself.

where though? In my area and online they go for a lot. None of the locals have them. So where can I get rare polyps cheap? Just because You call them something else does not mean the price will go down for me.

that is true. very, very true.
the best way would be to stop shopping sites that "name" their corals and the price you pay will drop considerably. the name game is huge in corals these days. theres old schoolers that paid more because they were hard to harvest and keep not becuase they had a "nuclear" name. its just a green palythoa, search for that under google sale and I bet out of all the hits you will find that same paly for far less than a "nuclear" version of the same thing.
also "nuclear greens" as far as I know them are a much smaller variety of paly and do NOT get that large. those ones do tend to go for a bit more but those are not them even though inexpirienced buyers/sellers may list them as such.
