Any blue zoas? (Starry Nite?)

[PirateToast]

I'm trying to find a blue zoa strain to add to my tank. Will starry nite zoas look more blue under a blue light? Or are they more green?

Any other suggestions from live aquaria, divers den? I'm about to order a fish and should probably hit the $225 for free shipping...

Tubs blues are the bluest zoas Ive seen before. under dark light, they become a very deep dark blue. very pretty color and very common to find.

I love my Tubbs blue zoas, very hardy, medium to fast growers a must have for all collectors.





Blue orgasms are pretty cool too

I bought a some stary night and they came today. For me the aren't really looking like the photo. They still haven't opened all the way yet so that may be it. It's only letting me post one at a time. This is the exact piece that I got.

 

[Mongo77]

This is it under my normal blue/ white mix lighting

 

[Mongo77]

This is just 12k white lighting.

Thanks for the REAL photos!!
Wow, they look so different!

[leveldrummer]

How are those even considered the same polyps?

[Mongo77]

Hopefully tomorrow they will open all the way and I can try to adjust my lighting to make them similar to the original photo.

I found this on their site:


Photo Lighting Note
To provide ideal color & lighting for our WYSIWYG corals, this coral is photographed from above, illuminated under 10,000K, and Actinic T5 fluorescent lighting. The coloration of this coral will vary under different intensities and Kelvin ratings of light bulbs and may look different under 10K, 14, or 20K Metal Halides, VHO, or Power Compact Lights, and may take time to recover its color after shipping
