[marc3lo19]

I bought it of zoanthids.com as a campfire palythoa; I always under the impression this is what campfires looked like

and its not a zoa its a paly its just smaller because it was recently fragged + look at the mouth

i was taking it easy, def not a paly.

a close up pic of it open and a close up pic of it closed will get you the answer you need:P


zoanthids.com like alot of other sites are full of it , they carry fakes and name stuff daily.


not saying you didnt buy it as a campfire , because that happens all the time.

even if the buyer wants to believe this is a campfire paly then so what its not a big deal its in the eyes of the beholder anyways

i also think its a nice zoo and its prob worth the penny asked im just saying its not the TRUE PALY im looking for , im assuming since i mentioned in another thread earlier that day about rare zoanthids
that i was looking for campfires this thread even got started seems odd not twenty mins or so after me mentoning it , this ad was placed??

I'm with Denny on both accounts here, its a very nice polyp but certainly not a true "Campfire". Probably zoanthus gigantus to boot, its a large misconception that many of the polyps we collect are "Palys" when infact almost all are zoanthus (Captain Americas, Purple Death, Nuc Greens are a few exceptions though).

Size has nothing to do with it .
