Since I'm not going to spend the money on the vortech powerhead I'm going to splurge on some high end corals. Let me know if you think they're worth the price.
First one is Next Generation Purple Hornets
Purple Hornet Zoos Next Generation
[SIZE=-2]Zoanthus sp.
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]As you can see, this zoa sports a purple body with a distinctive yellow/green ring around the mouth and an alternating purple/green skirt – definitely a gem in the industry. Very similar to the "original" purple hornet zoos, there are plenty of us that don't care about liniage or want to spend $150 per polyp, but could do 5+ polyps for $39.99. They are easy to maintain, making them a good choice for the beginner reef aquarists. They will reproduce in the reef aquarium by budding (splitting off a portion of their base or mouth), which will increase the size of their colony.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]$49.99[/SIZE]
New Release
Japanese Fruitloop Zoanthid Polyps
[SIZE=-2]Zoanthus sp.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]We've been working on this one for a while, and we have enough stock to finally offer this beauty. Polyps are unique in that they use sand and other substrate material into their tissue to help create their actual structure. Each aquacultured specimen has from 3-5 polyps. Easy to maintain, Zoanthid Polyps, also called zoas or zoos require a medium light level combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, they will also require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water. They will reproduce easily in the reef aquarium by budding (splitting off a portion of their base or mouth), which will increase the size of their colony. They contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae which provides some of their nutritional requirements. They will also benefit from additional feedings of microplankton or brine shrimp given to each individual of the colony.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Aquacultured Eye of Jupiter
[/SIZE][SIZE=-2]Zoanthus sp.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]This new one is a real knock out. Polyps are unique in that they use sand and other substrate material into their tissue to help create their actual structure.

$59.99
I'm only looking to spend around $150 including shipping so I'll be getting 2 of the 3 listed. Suggestions/thoughts/comments?
