Adding color

[RichK]

I've been into SPS for a long time and never really paid attention to zoas. However, some of the pics I have seen recently have made me take an interest in them. I needed color in my 75G LPS/softie tank. The tank was lit by 4 VHOs but I recently switched to 2 175W 15K Iwasakis. I have to say, I like these bulbs alot. Color looks great with no actinic supplementation. Anyway, here are a few zoas I added this past weekend:

I hope to add more soon.

Very nice pick up! They would probably look good under any type of lighting.

Heh. No photochopping here. Just a resize for the web and a bit of USM. Thanks for the nice comments. Hope to post more pics when I get some new stuff.

I believe "Sick" as in the slang term, at least he didnt say that he wanted to "hook up" with those zoas, then I would have no idea what he was talking about

Great colors, I'm glad you are going for coloration and not names or rarity. Looks like you are off to an excellant start. Much luck and happy hunting.

Very nice! I really like those first ones.

 

[edwing206]

I SWEAR when I looked at this thread the first time there was 4 pics!?!?!?!
Weird (twilight zone music playing).
I think I meant the third pic??
Oh well. The point is VERY cool zoanthids.
I really like the second ones, safecrackers?

When I bought these at a recent frag swap, I was told I bought bambam oranges, safecrackers, keddredds and pink zoos. To be honest, I have no idea which is which, except of course the orange ones, which I take it are the bambams. All these names kinda confuse me a little. Here is a pic of the fourth frag I got:

Thanks for the great comments. I am officially addicted to these colorful polyps.
