new purple hornets + other hottie

[ryanrid]

got some purple hornets the other day from a trade a did - pics under 250W 12K reeflux for the hornets and 250W 14K phoenix for the red + actintic and fiji purple (both)
4 polops + a baby polop

and got the red ones with the green mouth, couldnt get a better shot - i prefer these to the hornets.

i traded with red wines, cat eyes and the red/orange at the back in the last pic.

now i have PH i dont see all the fuss, to see the alternating skirts you have to look close, they may look good in macro shots but with a few polops are not super impressive.

Red ones look like standard RPEs that are rather healthy I might add. Nice additions for sure.

Can you share anything more with us about them or your tank?

Your parameters, how old is your tank, what kind of growth are you getting?

Do they prefer high or low light?

Are you going to attach them to a larger piece of live rock and allow them to cover it?

Can you share any knowledge with us on keeping zoas and palys?

Thanks for sharing.

i have a lot of circluation 2 x MP40W on full reefcrest and 4 x 6045 modded.

i have some zoos which prefer shade, i guess it is just trial and error moving them around till they seem happy.

i have many other zoos some attached to rock to make gardens like this one
