origin of some of the other high end zoas/palys?

[Kigs!]

so...ppes started with perun, opes juan carlos, tubs blues...tubs, etc. what about some of the recent ones?

- purple death, nuclear greens, aog, armageddons, rainbows

were they always around but hyped up ever since the naming game started?

Zoaid shows who the original namer is for each zoa.

Just about all those were named by a CZ member.

 

[Kigs!]

doh!... forgot about that handy dandy website...

kigs...keep in mind that they are listed just by the people that named them...not necessarily as the people who first introduced them to the hobby!

i.e...PPE were "named" by Perun...but he wasn't the first one to have them!

I could be wrong on some of these but I'll give this a shot.
PPE - Bryan
Purple Death - Creetin
Nuclear Green - Da6d2003
AOG - Mr Ugly
Armageddons - Bryan
Rainbows - I have no clue. A bunch of places had them when they first came out.

I got my rainbow colony from tonga

Jesse they look right to me!

 

[Kigs!]

hehe that's actually what i wanted to know Stix, the people who got the first first...not who named them on zoaid first. i'm guessing all the 'high end' stuff were just discovered by the hobbyists through a wild colony shipment?

 

[Stixbaraca]

yep...or in some cases were actually collected by! Contrary to popular belief...the PPE from what I have been told was actually from the Caribbean not Indonesia like some would like us to believe!
