Pure, bright yellow zoas (pic)

[Ladipyg]

Well, these are the brightest pure yellow zoas I have ever seen in my life...and now they're mine. I picked them up yesterday so they are not all open, but I just couldn't wait to post a picture. These have to be on the bottom of the tank. Whatdaya think??

Now thats yellow!!! Nice score...

When you fraggin?

I wanna be first in line for those!!!!

 

[karlo]

I have some yellows but they don't come close to that.

Very cool find.

 

[Skipper]

Very nice!!! I'd love to find some with that color.

I just went back and picked up the second colony he had...50+ polyps. That will be my frag it up and trade colony...I didn't see anything that comes close on ZoaID either.

[jadeguppy]

Sweet yellow! Put me on your frag list!

 

[SnapDragon]

Nice... Great yellows!

 

[stoneroller]

Thanks for sharing, those are awesome. I'd like to see some pics in a few weeks to see if they hold true, I hope so for ya.

 

[Ladipyg]

That's one of the reasons I want to wait a little...don't want anyone who trades feeling like they got gyped.

Nice pickup LP.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Are those the same as the 2 polyps I gave you?

 

[Ladipyg]

I don't think so Jen...these are much bigger polyps

 

[650-IS350]

Wait a while and dont bother them they might actually morph to look better and way brighter.

That Tonga polyp will get very blue under high light and drab green in low. Their growth is almost nill IMHO. Nice find and I would keep them up high-so the latter does not happen. good luck with them

Seen a couple people recently get those over here in michigan lately.

Also seen them pop up one other time about 3 years ago from a reefing buddy-

Nice find. Wish I could come across them....

 

[SIR PATRICK]

Its funny that all I have seen dont have much of a mat.....

Bad sign or normal for the type of polyp?

Goexman- you mentioned somthing about "tonga polyp"?? What is that and where does it come from?

 

[Ladipyg]

Well, from what I have observed with one other zoa colony I have, they spread and then break off from the whole so that there is no mat but a bunch of individual polyps. Maybe it's a survival mechanism...if something happens to one polyp, it won't affect the others in the colony by being transferred thru the mat. Just a thought. I have broken the rock and placed it in different areas of the tank, just to see what kind of development I get and to see what keeps the colors the brightest.

 

[SIR PATRICK]

Sounds like a great idea.

wow that is bright! where can i get something like that from?
