Ultra rare zoas - sponsors' request

Ok so for those who have vietnam zoas i can confirm that the one type is definitely eagle eye zoas as per US naming...

Here is the US version going at about $40 per 10 polyps!

That's the downside to beautiful bright Corals...I saw a stunning neon orange, about the size of half a boiled egg and it was +-R1350...:eek:...damn and the thing was SOLD..!!! Reefers are dying for stunning colours..sigh...so am I, but all I'll be able to afford is frags...hell..I don't mind, if it means getting beautiful bright "rainbow" colour Corals...

These are awesome ;)
 
The chances of you guys getting zoas by name is...well almost zero...those are US names, the lists of zoas dont come with names its just luck of the draw most of the time what comes in.

Also remember 2 things...firstly the A grade corals generally go to the countries with higher purchasing power first like US, Britain etc...we basically get whats left over :p
The other thing is there is only like 3 importers that most of the LFS in south africa use, besides places like Dory and Exotics etc who import directly from some places themselves...so whats on one LFS list is on all the lists.

haha...just a realist :p But I think the best bet is to speak to the guys that import directly and see if they cant come up with something...the usual run of the mill LFS isnt going to get any thing like that in intentinally...it may come in by luck of the draw though never rule out that posibility :)
 
These Hasselpalys are cool :p
