Some of the zoanthids in my tank

[ParanoidObseshn]

Here are some pictures of the zoanthids that I currently have placed in my 5.5 gallon Nano. Some of them started out small while others have started out with larger amounts, but all have been growing fairly well.
Some of them I know, others im not sure about what they are.

I plan to get more zoanthids either by purchasing from other hobbyists, or growing these out and trading for others.

Can you tell us something about your system?


How old is it?

What type of lights and wattage do you have?

What's your photo period?

Any additives?

Do you test, if so, how often and with what type of kit?

What are your parameters?

Do you plan on allowing them to grow out by attaching them to a mother rock instead of fragging them?


Thanks for sharing.

Current Nova Extreme 36 watt T5HO

On occassion will add a little calcium or strontium. Not often

No test kits. Do not test.

What are your parameters?
Do not test. Just do 1-2 gallon weekly water changes

All zoas I have started from frags and will be grown out on plugs or transfered to larger rocks. When a nice size colony develops I will trade to other hobbyists

[KafudaFish]

Very nice.

How do you like the light fixture?

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

I really like this light fixture, wouldnt have gotten anything else. I am seeing great results on all the corals that are in the tank.

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

Bought these from a $5 bin for 20 polyps. Now they have started to develop spartan coloring. They are PE's as the green mouth and watermelon markings.

Right after moving into the tank, still annoyed, just havent gotten an up to date picture of these.

what is that all black fish near the zoas?

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

Its a Black Sailfin Blenny. He is about the size of a frag plug currently.

 

[Woznickiaj]

awsome, blenny are very freindly arent they ? But can be territorial ?

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

Yeah they have great personality, but will fight with other blennies.
