They look like they have been in partial shade for awhile. They might surprise you once you re-acllimate them to the light.

I think they are awesome, too. Never seen anyone with snake polyps in their tanks. I love the odd and unusual... Do they sway around? That would be a cool effect.

Are you sure your staring price is right? I expected another zero or two. Then everyone will have to have some.

Snake polyps are in two tanks! I only have two polyps, and they have their own... charm. But to have a bunch of them like that must look pretty cool!

Holy crap! That is awesome! I've never seen snake polyps for sale, excluding online occasionally. They came with the tank when we bought it from someone getting out of the hobby.

Oh, and here are my ugly zoos. (They came with the tank, too!) Can't even give them away!

I think you should post some pics of them opened up. A bunch of people that i know around here have them, including one store. Everytime i have gone to the store the polyps have been open, but only the ones that were getting a lot of flow. just thought it might help.

BS,
now you can pull a Blane and name them something. Then get $600 a frag for them. But then you have to donate it to a worthy cause, after administration costs of course.
