    I am thinking about buying these i just dont know about the price tag one polyp for 40 dollars. They are very cool though. What do you all think about them?

    They look nice.....but they also look photoshopped. Who is the seller?

    they look great but for 40 per polyp they better come with some life insurance and a certificate of authenticity.... joking of course.

    Ugh, don't get me started. I tried for many, many hours and could never figure it out.
    Or like ianaco stated, they could be injected with dye as well. Another common trick. You could even put little smiley faces in them if you really wanted

    But I should add, all of this is on speculation. We really have no idea where the pic came from, who is selling them, and if its 100% authentic. If it is, and you really want them, I say go for it. It's on the pricier end of the scale but not entirely out of line with rare/le stuff

    They are from a local farmer here in denver, I am going to go take a look at them in the morning. If they are injected with die how are they all the same? I will get to look at his whole operation. He has about 30 different "rare" zoas and I have been e-mailing him for a while now.
