i dont want to be that guy buts its actually a darth maul, prob a morph you can tell by the red rim.


true campfires have yellow/dark orange on them,and the rings are continuous not in botches, heres a pic from a previous member who had actual campfires.

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'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 :razz:.

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 hear from everyone that fruit loops are hard to keep and are prone to melting anyone else experience this?

youll notice in the picture of the true campfire paly i posted it has a green disk around the mouth , its a bright green similiar to the car's . this is something all campfires have.

there are very few pictures of true campfires but they are out there none the less you have to go through alot of the fakes and random morphs to find them .

you wont find them on for sale on online sites , this is a select collectors piece and never if ever come up for sale even in the states:(

they are incredibly rare and fetch a high pricetag, they def do not get seen or heard of very often.

ive only ever seen one in person once:(

would kill to have one....sopranos too:(

you can clearly see the spots are continuos and not blotchy and there the green around the mouth, its not a dull green but a vivid green.

under actinics this palys is in a league of its own:P


for the record...i have palys smaller than zoas so size is not what makes a paly:P

Its basically a darth maul morph that they have given a name, they started appearing about 6-8 months ago.
