LOL, I can tell you right now, that someone is gonna post pictures of women in long skirts as a joke, well, I hope not now, LOL.


But seriously, there are tons of long skirt polyps in the photo sticky at the top of the page. On page 1 near the bottom you will see a lot of them and they continue throughout the thread. Enjoy, lots of beauts in there for sure.

I still can't figure out why but when ever I put zoas in my tank their skirts get super short. Then I put them in a different tank and they get long again.

But any how nice stuff guys.

Can you share all of your parameters including salinity, bulb and ballast type, type and volume of internal water movement and return? Thanks.

I have noticed the lenghtening of skirts due to high flow rates/heavy current.

Seems like the zoas with the fat skirts tend to get curely, while the zoas with the thinner skirts just get really long, and sway in the flow.

I have them in a 14G biocube with a skimmer and fuge, stock lighting that is getting upgraded Wednesday to 12 LEDs 5 white, 7 blue. Its in medium flow, I upgraded the return pump with a MJ900 and added the small koralia pump that was rated at 247 gph. I keep the salinity at 1.025 and temp at 79.

+1.

Let's hear about those parameters though. Maybe something else is going on.

Calc- 420
NO3- undetectable
PO4- undetectable
Temp- 79 degrees


Those are all I test, unless somthing doesnt seem right.

All are under reletively high lighting. T5's. The first 2 pics had 3w blue led suppliments.

Ive had this piece for about 3mo in my tank and the skirts must be 4x the size now.

My long haired Darth Mauls. They became a colony of about 50 or so. Then I moved them and they melted. Arrrrrrrrg. :rolleye1:

Those are crazy skirts! Any new pics of the longer skirts?

Any ideas what caused this for you?
