As the title says. I'm willing to pay shipping if you have a few available. Preferably looking for 10+ polyp mini colonies, or may be interested in full colonies if the price is reasonable.

Please PM.

Here are some Japanese examples:

You probably want to talk to me... I have molten reds, fruitloops, LA Lakers and Sherberts.

FYI, none of them are actually from Japan. Just marketing.

I'm no good with Zoa names, but I think those are just LA Lakers (the green ones pictured below those ones) that are yellowish in some peoples' tanks. I've seen them called Yellow Jackets too, but I think they are the same as LA Lakers just different water conditions. :noidea:

I never thought of that before. I googled in curiosity and found this article ..

Mentions stony corals. Never dug further to see if also soft corals.


Nice zoas though.

"Japanese Deepwater" is just a marketing scam. The Zoas aren't deepwater, and they aren't Japanese. Everyone knows what you're talking about when you use the term though. :D

For shame. Two more of these "incidents" and the mods should seriously consider a ban. #noobsmaketherestofuslookbad
