Never seen Zoanthids.

Has anyone ever. Seen white on white? Meaning white skirt and white body/mouth?

If not I shall call it whitey or casper or albino

Collected it today. Will post pics tomorrow.

Sounds bleached, guess we'll know when the pics are up

 

[jason78]

LOL not bleached they were just taken from natural environment. Next to many colorful ones.

Where's the pictures?

 

[jason78]

This was taken under 20k radiums with two blue+ and two coral+ bulbs.

But they are really white. With this photo I did zero photo shop.

Way to deliver on pics! Interesting look, white polyps, white skirts, embedded in white mat. What part of the world do these come from?

Those are interesting, the centers look a bit more lavender than white though. Perhaps it's just the photo, nice looking zoas regardless.

A lot of things can be bleached in their natural environment, I think once these sit in your tank for a few weeks they'll look very different. If you can get a picture with the flash on or less blue it'll be easier to get an idea of what they'll color up like.

My lights are very blue. I will take more tomorrow with a flash

I bought a piece of live rock years back covered in white zoas...after a few weeks they coloured up brown...let's see what happens here.

Cool zoas... post some updates that would be cool if they held that white light purple color.

But I'm wondering how sure you are they are from Japan? Almost all zoas that are said to come from Japan are actually from Vietnam.

 

[jason78]

LOL I am very sure. I live here.

Nice! You might have the only legit Japanese Zoas haha sorry I didn't mean to sound rude. :wavehand:

 

[rbla51]

its legal there to take a big colony and live rock? Then again, look at how the laws treat dolphin and whales... nevermind:spin2:

 

[Dmantz1]

wow. those white zoas are great. i wish i had some.

 

[jayblock]

Very very cool If your interested in selling some im interested in buying please keep me in mind if u ever frag or dive and want to make a few bucks

 

[jason78]

I live in Okinawa. I am thinking shipping would be a bit on the expensive side.

 

[650-IS350]

I thought you can't ship that outta Japan due to CITES. since those polyps are the encrusting type which would prove hard to remove from the rock they're on?

Sort of off topic, but aren't those Palythoas as opposed to Zoanthids?
