definately not favites ... if you paid favites prices you got a great deal. depending on polyp size it is a lord or a micro.

if you are in chicago, I would be more than happy to stop by and give you an accurate id.

I'm not in Chicago (unfortunately) As for size, there are about 30 polyps averaging the size of the tip of a normal thumb (as descriptive as that can be ...).

Looking around the net, it does look like it's what I have. I'll have to check out proper care for them now

looks like an acan to me would be great if you got it at the favites price.
