Pretty Paly suggestions?

[bjhubb]

Can anyone suggest some cool varieties of palys that have good color and are easy to keep?

I like the Captain America, Candy Apple, Spiderman, and Frozen Sun palys. Are any of these harder/easier to keep than others?

I find the more brown in the color the higher the survival rate is for them . LOL J/K I would say palys are easy to take care of if acclimated to the tank conditions .

Ed, I totally agree! The browner the faster they grow. The harder they are to kill, etc. I bought a huge zoa rock a few weeks ago, three different varieties, about 100 polyps that are brown skirted, grean with orange mouths, 40 that might be radioactive dragon eyes, and then there were about 12 that looked like eagle eyes or watermelons. They were the whole reason I bought the rock. Those 12 melted on me. All the rest, growing like crazy and even splitting off new little colonies.

Well, truth be told I really bought it becase the LFS had it mis-priced. Got all 150+ polyps for $30. But I'm still sad about the pretties.

Eagle eyes are a common polyp it should be easy to find a frag for around .50 - $2.00 pp . The brown palys will over grown your rock work if let to touch the main rock wall . I nuke them like apsasia .

all zoa are easy to keep, brown zoa are cheap , colorful and rare zoa are costly..
