Blue Zoanthids or Palythoas-Yep, show them here

[IridescentLily]

I'm wondering if there's a paly that is kind of a baby blue with maybe pink in the middle?
Are there any like that? I thought I saw one one time but I can't find the site yet.

[IridescentLily]

Awesome, thank you Killingseed! I'm going to go check those out there. I'm sorry they melted away, that sucks. :-(

 

[IridescentLily]

Those are what I'm looking for. Thanks again.

Here's some of mine
From left to right, Tubs blues, Caribbean turquoise, and some you don't see that often, Alelis blues:

OMG, those are all awesome.
How do you all make them grow like that.
Do you put them on rocks for that nice shape. Or do you all like to grow them on the sand more? I like both, but I didn't know if you all got them like that from a vendor or if you made them grow on the rocks?
Thanks all.

sassafrass, how are those crazy colored zoas doing?

 

[flyyyguy]

sassafras.....any chance these could be the same just under much less light and recently wild caught??

if I was in the market at the moment I would buy these and find out. they have the same contortable(is that a word? ) oral disk, and surely look like they have the potential to morph to orange

Now that you mention it Flyyyguy, I bet your right. I saw some similar on the web the other day and meant to ask you about them. I wonder if those are the ones I saw. They're so different.


A.T.T.R., WOW.
And those were taken under 6500? Wow, I've never seen any zoanthid or paly so blue . :inlove:

 

[flyyyguy]

I posted several pics of those blue halos(blue ripples ATTR posted) earlier in this thread. they can really show lots of yellow under high light in the skirts and oral disk. One of my fav's. I lost most of mine a while back but still have some coming back

 

[IridescentLily]

Wow, I just looked at your post again, they certainly can show lots of yellow, how cool. Those are a real "pow" kind of blue aren't they.

Oh wow, I'm glad you were able to save it! It'll grow in no time, they clearly loved growing in your tank.
You always hated zoas? I love reading about reef people who have typically found them a niusance, but are now addicted to them.
Those cute little buggers do that don't they.
Let us know about the little blue zoa bud and how he does okay?
