New zoo pics!

[hobbzz]

Went to the lfs to get some cleaners and food and found these guys! So what do you think? Good find?

Nice looking piece. What kind are those in the first pic.

 

[hobbzz]

Absolutely no idea. :lol: The guy from the lfs who fragged them is a member on here and I'm sending him a pm right now to ask. It's actually two different pieces. There is a slight difference in the coloration of the two green/blue ones in real life. It's just kinda hard to tell in the pics.

double post

I believe the blue and green ones are called the eye of rah.

Killer man!

Thanks guys! The frag with only the green/blues is already "spilling" over the sides of the plug in growth. So I put 3 different pieces of rock underneath it to catch the "overflow" and hopefully I can frag without having to do any actual fragging. :lol: Anyone ever tried that?

Great looking zoas, hobbzz. Colors are fantstic in the first pic.

Thanks! I should be getting my other 2x24 retro kit on tuesday so we'll see how they look under more blue. Can't wait!

Hello Brent,

You'd have to ask Fred (RCS) where they came from because I acquired those frags from him. I think the green and blues might be from the Caribbean though. They have definitely colored up since I got them in a few months ago. The top ones I think were labeled as "fire and ice".

Good luck with them!

BTW, your PM box is full.

 

[hobbzz]

Thanks, I'll shoot Fred a pm. And thanks for the heads up on my pm box. :lol: I don't think I've ever filled one up before. BTW did you guys ever get the order in for this week? Scott said he wanted to get it by either yesterday or today, and I need some more cleaners. Thanks.

Nice finds. In that first shot it looks like there's a very small piece of Pulsing Xenia at the bottom right of the rock.

 

[hobbzz]

I'm not sure what that is. As of right now it doesn't pulse, it just sits open all the time...but maybe they don't pulse until they get bigger...

That would be pretty cool if it was though.

 

[nUgZ]

I'm gonna bet on Xenia.

 

[Slakker]

I agree...I recently tore a stalk of my xenia off the rock on accident...a very small piece of the stalk stayed with the rock and within a few days had a couple of polyps that looked a lot like what's on that rock (if you ignore the fact that I've got a different variety of Xenia)

nice , good luck with them.

That would make the second piece of free coral I've gotten in two weeks. Thanks guys!
