Any reefkingdom pics out there?

[drjuice28]

Hey, we've been discussing zoas obtained from reefkingdom recently. Reading back through vendor experiences, there are mixed reviews about the products pictured versus those actually received by customers. Does anyone have some pics of any zoas recently obtained from these guys to match up how things really look?

Thanks for any input!

Wish I had some pictures for you, but I don't have a macro lens for my camera yet. I received my first order from them about 3 weeks ago. I got a couple of mohawk, tinkerbell and AOG palys. The mohawk looks just like the picture presented, however I started them low in my tank and the middle wasn't quite as dark. I have since moved them up and they pretty much look just like the picture. The tinkerbells look more purple in the picture at reefkingdom then they do in my tank, but I can definetly tell that they are the ones that I ordered. My lighting system must be different. The AOG's look just like everybody else's AOG.

I do have to say that I am impressed with the growth in the tinkerbell palys. I ordered two polyps and since I have received them, they are already growing 3 babies.

So then, you were perfectly happy with what you selected and received from them? good to hear..

I was very happy. I received a couple of free polyps as well. Also, I emailed them a couple of questions I had and received a response within hours.

I think the main thing to consider with zoathids is that they will look different under different lighting conditions and that unless you are running the same watts, spectrum bulbs, etc that people should expect variations.

Good luck!
