Care of African blue zoanthids...

I can confirm the type of rock Eric mentions. It's a very dense and heavy rock like granite.

BTW... mine are still doing fine in low light, medium to low flow. It's directly under a large Colt coral.
 
I would be happy to post the pics....actually already took some pics but couldn't figure out how to post in the body of my message. TECH HELP!

Charles....too funny. I remember that company from years ago. At least their rock is coral base:) This stuff is nothing like coral. I was kinda curious months ago when this stuff started coming in, and typical of me....I am thinking Mmmmmm....what's this stuff and how is this going to react in the aquarium. At that point, I took some of that rock and piled a boat load of it in a small container with seawater so that the rock was displacing most of the water. I let it sit in that water sealed up for a week. Then I did some ph tests, copper tests, alk test and then later threw some polyp pad strips that I cut into tiny pieces and let it soak in there for a few days as well......
Luckily, I found no problems and kept on truckin:)

Appreciate the help on posting photos...will do!
 
If you have photobucket, put the courser on the pick. Four options will show on the bottom. Pick " IMG CODE " copy the link code on it and post it with your text posts...


I put a little space between my message and the img code link pasted.

And if I don't have a photo bucket? How to I upload a pic from my pictures folder? That's the brick wall I already hit.

Charles....you are a good teacher. Photobucket is eazy.....that's why they call me Eazy E :)
 
Just to add some more info....these colonies arrived to us one week ago and have held up great. We have scraped a few pieces when we see a dying polyp or any sign of necrotic tissue. During shipping, some of the polyps get squooshed, and die...so we remove asap!

Also, I requested a few shipments ago that the supplier make sure all polyps that are not on the TOP of the rock be taken off so it's less work for us to do all the cleaning.

Bryan who is our "Shepard" and cares for the coral flock here....he works diligently on all our corals to make sure they are at top condition. Bryan York is his name.....and corals are his game:) Are we having fun yet? How about a free blue steel colony to the first 5 responders:) We should make those who failed come first if we are being nice:) Will have to work out something with their local fish store and put the freebie in the stores order....but I am GAME!
