What kind of Zoanthids pop out at you from across the room?

[Steve Ruddy]

As I mentioned earlier I am planning on putting up a display tank again and want to add some nice stuff. I would like maybe 3 or 4 Zoantid and or Palythoa sp. and they all should be very different in color. Also I want types that will command your attention from across the room. What do you all suggest?

1. Utter chaos
2. Blonde blue eyed bit#@
3. Jurassic park zoa
4. Hornet zoas

Top list is to wow people who know about zoas/palys. This is highend but will turn peoples heads for sure.

#1 Krakatosa
#2 Stratosphere's
#3 *** kracks
#4 Hallucinations
#5 Bowser, shazam or anything that looks similar

This list is the vivid holy cow due to color intensity. Not too pricey but looks kick butt if they were large colonies.

#1 Daisey Dukes (true)
#2 Tyree Orange rainbow
#3 Rasta's
#4 Sunny D's or vivid rainbows
#5 God of wars or madarine orange or KH sunburst

I've always been really fond of watermelons--dirt cheap and just amazing when grown out.

Good point, I'm finally adopting LED and have been experimenting with Hydra and Hydr 26 on several tanks. I think I may use two Hydra 52 units when I set up the new tank. It will take quite a bit more experimentation and I won't be going with a super heavy blue blend. I definitely will have a few presets though for the purpose of demonstrating fluorescence and for creative photography.

Thanks for the lists everyone. I had no idea these are being sold by the polyp now. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me. I may need to make some more friends if I want any of those! I especially like those Rastas but haven't seen any in person. Most photos look really good though.
