Any palys that are black. I'm looking for interesting coloration of palys and I was just wondering if there were any in black. Do you have pics of the ones you mentioned.
TIA

I can't believe nobody could ID those. They are CLEARLY "Moonless Midnight Hangovers."

Learn to work kid.

S !

ps - Pitcom, the lighting in that pic is funky somehow, but if those are actually the color they look like, they are pretty sweet.

That's what they look like. I'm going to try and get a better picture, they just happen to be pretty small polyps. I'll show a comparison with different lighting.

After doing some searching I think I found what I was looking for.
I just bought this one for $50. The store named it Batman and it really does look like it's black. It's there pic but I got their permission to use it until I get it in my tank.
