    I've heard them be called Eagle's eye zoas, but then again, every one has a different name for them. Luna

    Great piece for $35, Im going there on Thursday.

    Thanks peeps. I didn't buy them thinking that they were anything special but then someone suggested they could be rev. gorilla nips. Oh well, I just got them because to me, they had a halloween feel to them LOL!

    Thanks Mission! That's pretty close but I looked up the Rev nipples and they look identical to the rev. nips. The PB cups tend to be extending polyps and these don't extend.
