I agree with Pufferpunk. There are several pictures, for example, in this thread that are quite unusual zoanthids that have not been available here before.

Mind you .... some Aussie Zoas are very similar to the so-called Japanese Zoas especially the distinct "dark' round circle around the center mouth area. The "Japanese" Zoas are very much highlighted under strong Actinic lights and I have to admit the Brightest and Better looking than any other Zoas from elsewhere .... IMHO

has any one seen the totally awesome japanese zoas on www.fishnfrags.com?

All I can say is that these "Japanese" Zoas are always in clusters or sort of like a Matlike colony and hardly flat out mat (curled up or rounded mats) ... peeled off from it's original state of formation in the Wild.


HTH,

These are actually a deeper water variety of zoanthid, they do arrive as a large flat mat as it was removed from the sea floor. The coloring is very bright and they do really well at maintaing the colors even under lower light.

Here is a picture of some recent ones I just brought in.

Some of the zoas in question...........that I posted before. Just some nice zoas from a new area is all, most the LFS's in my area have gotten them in.

 

[Pufferpunk]

What wonderful color combinations!

[MerDoX]

Nice. Wish I could get my hands on some of these.

 

[ksanmamaril]

OMG... HYPE KILLS.... my wallet!!! argh! another reason to pay 100 for 1 polyp. Very nice though!

Roe's is local to me here in the Charlotte NC area. I bought my first 3 frags from them. All are great looking zoas and I am more than happy with them. They have/had alot of new stock come in over the last week or so but they have a $100 minimum for local pickup. I don't want to lay down another $100 right now and can't see spending $30 to have one frag shipped overnight 15 miles to me from the other side of town!!!!

 

[Jflip2002]

Those are cool and all.... but at the end of the day, theyre still just Zoas, lol.
