Snow white Zoa

[Guss]

A few weeks ago I was given about 100 lbs live rock from a reef tank that had been in the dark for about 4 months. Lights burnt up and owner never replaced. (was waiting for everything to die) Tank was offered for free if you take it down. Long story short I took it down added rock to my tank. tons of mushrooms, sponges, and other fauna popped up in a few days. While moving it around in my tank I found a small colony of Zoanthids hiding in a cave. They are pure white, how long till they color up again?

They are small. But white as can be. If they stay white am I a gonna be millionaire?

Here is a better pic with daylights on.

They'll take looooong time to get some color back.
Perhaps 6 months +.
Don't give up!
Remember to post new pictures when they color up, please.

Good thing you have T5s! :thumbsup:

Those look like nuclear holocaust polyps. They are annoying because they grow like a weed and take up prime real-estate

LOL!! What? Did they invent a name for bleached zoas?
How much money did they ask you for them?
LOL!

That first picture they are bleached but are colored enough to tell that they are nukes. I didn't pay a dime for them. They just showed up one day and started growing.

Oh, now I get it.
Do you have a picture of yours, to show how they would look like, if they are indeed the ones you've got?
I would think it's basically impossible to identify the polyps when they're bleached like that.
I don't think I could do it.

The first pic was with actinic lights only. It gives everything a blue look even our yellow toadstool takes a greenish hue when actinics only are on. They are not blue in person at all. (at least not yet)

I was given a frag like that all white no color. 2 months in and I now know I have nucular green palys

Actually Grandis they're Albino mountain goat zoas. Super rare I'll sell you some for only $225 per polyp. Lol

I saw something similar in my tank after acquiring some rock from a tank that was being broken down. Does anyone have an idea what this might be? I've been trying to research but with no luck. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
