no phischy they are not - that was my whole point..............i paid like 19.99 for my colony of about 15 and now have enough to share. i will admit that there are a lot of really beautiful corals coming in these days, really colorful zoas, SPS, LPS, everything - but it is just one of those things with me - i hate those terms "exotic" or "rare" or "limited edition" because there are people out there using these terms very loosly just trying to boost prices and make money. most corals will adapt to their current lighting anyway and someone may fork out big bucks for some "rare" crazy colored zoa just to watch it change color in their tank in 3 months... one of my favorite zoas i got out of the bargain bin at an LFS (10$) it had a couple brown pallies and something else on it - couldn't tell what cause their lighting was so bad on that tank - but i ended up with 3 dif colored zoas on the same rock and the pallies turned flourescent green - all pretty in their own right.
