Those are nice! My LFS NEVER has any nice zoanthids.

 

[LoudProudNPunk]

thanks.

it helps to find out the shipment dates, then be there when they are taking them out of the boxes. I do sometimes, and tell them that im looking for zoanthids. That way you get the first look.

Well, you might get the first look at closed polyps, lol. I'd like to see some pics after they've adjusted to your tank. Nice find.

Where's the purple?

 

[LoudProudNPunk]

well, maybe come an hour after they take em out. When i was there the zoanthids started opening within 15 minutes so i could see their colors.

Audio- the center of the polyps, i dunno if it came out as well as it does in real life but it looks purple to me haha.

Nice zoas, I haven't seen any like that around here.

 

[NanoReefWanabe]

they look like the standard blue and green zoa to me...?

what lighting do you have them under??

same as these i have just under better light..spread like wide fire too..

 

[LoudProudNPunk]

hahah yeah, those look like them. I wasnt trying to say they were rare or anything. Just that they were a first for me and that i think they look cool, thats all. Sorry if my post confused people.

mine are under a 20k 400 watt halide

Those are nice. My lfs doesn't ever have anything nice either....

 

[NanoReefWanabe]

i wasnt trying to be rude either...sorry...damn the way thing seem on the internet...

only colours my LFS seems to get are brown and green...

and even then it is hard to tell because there lighting is terrible
