Bright Pink Zoas & Blue Zoas!!

[SteveOhh]

Scored a nice frag of bright pink zoas from Tongs FV today. White centers, BRIGHT pink rings & grey skirts. Got it out thier frag tank for $19.99. Funny thing is they had a 100+ polyp colony of it for like $700!!!!! Give me 6 months & this one should have 100+

And I finally got my blues!!! Thanks to raskal311 for hooking a brother up...............Two different phenos of blue!!!!!

Thanks for lookin'!!!!

wait... literally 700 bucks?

 

[SteveOhh]

That's what the employee told me.......................it was easily 100+ polyps & was already encrusting the rock w/ the white base zoas have, but wasn't completely covered in polyps yet (did that make sense?)

uhh... they can't be serious. I got a same colony w/ over 100 polyps for a fraction of that price. that's insane!!!

 

[ScallopKing]

Nice blue zoos! Good score.

Poeple in the area got money and are willing to spend it.

People in Somalia think we are insane for spending money to keep fish alive instead of eating them.

people in somalia are busy praying 5 times a day so I don't think they have time to be thinking we are insane!

Nice blues!!! gotta love them

Sweet Eli Whitney's nose! I know Tong's is pricey but they've outdone themselves. I recall they had a few good-sized pieces of the same zoos for sale a couple of months ago ~$199 give or take a peso or two. It's not as though they are rare.

I agree, nice blues.

 

[Bebo77]

aww i want some blues too...

 

[raskal311]

Watchout for stuff you buy from tongs, they run 2x actinic and only 1 daylight on there softy tanks.

 

[Bebo77]

why do they do that for color?

 

[raskal311]

yeah, I bought a rock of zoos once and it looked awsome when it was in their store. When I got to home it was completely diff, the next time i was there I notice it was mainly actinic bulbs on the tanks.

Nice score on blue zoos, Steve.
I also just score a nice blue zoo frag from F18-Hornet.

Funny thing is I think a lot of East Coasters that don't get the variety & slelction of corals we do, will probably pay $700......................I see threads w/ $40 a polyp PPE's & I just laugh...................for $40 a polyp you can keep 'em!!!!!

LOL, crazyness... You should buy another $20 frag and frag 100 single polyps....at $40 each..that's $4000! Hey Steve, want to sell/trade me a frag of the blues when they grow out? I will save up my $$$ in the meantime in case you want $40 a head - in 6 months, i should be able to afford a polyp or two.

Yeah, but they laugh at our housing, energy, and gas prices.

At $40 a polyp...that should help with the energy and gas :rollface:
