whats the difference between zoas and palys??

[fast57]

wow did this thread go to crap.....i think you all missed the SIMPLE question I wanted to know.....

"I wanted to know how when I look at 1 of the 2 I could Visually determine which one they are."

This got WAY more technical and angry than I ever intended...

Geoxman- YGPM

Happy reefing everyone. Sorry for my outburts.

 

[whodah]

how about a short n' easy nick name?

Zoanthids become Zoas (or Zoos depending on how one says it)

Palythoa become Palys.

Zoanthus gigantus become... Zoa gigs? (like in hard drives. 250 gigs)



betcha that'd help in hobby chit chat and forums!

good thinking whodah.

FWIW Geoxman knows what he is talking about even tho he is not saying what he means in the way everyone wants him to say it.

Through his knowlege and skill at growing the crap out of "zoas",
He has aquired and passed on more zoas than most people can dream about.

I for one enjoy his post - awkward, often hysterical, very truthful and always helpful.

Geoxman- Maybe if you rub your two brain cells together REALLY hard you could actually come up with a coherent thought. Saying that all "LPS" need the same care or all "SPS" need the same care or even that all Zoanthids/Palythoa need the same care is just plain ignorant. A couple quotes from Mr. Jury's article. "This is analogous to saying that seals, bears and wolves are really all the same animals and have the same needs." ""LPS" is an artificial and arbitrary grouping of totally unrelated species. Humans (genetically, temporally and evolutionarily) are much closer relatives of whales and armadillos than some of these corals are to each other, and I am not exaggerating." Maybe if you have time some day in between your beers you could acttually sit down and READ the article and absorbe some of the great information it contains.

Dude- Your over the top. Chill out. With only 248 posts, you have a lot to learn about how and what to post. When you have a tank even close to as nice as Geo's, then you can open your mouth again.

Think before you type.

There are plenty of people with tons of posts that have absolutely nothing of value to say. The amount of posts a person has on a forum is not an indicator of their knowledge.

 

[MinibowMatt]

yet, in some cases it is.

nUgZ,

Your post was indeed inflammatory and unacceptable towards geoxman, that is not allowed on RC.

I appologized here in the forum for my outburst and also sent him a PM with another appology. Leave it alone.

That type of attitude will guarantee you don't stay a member here for very long. No need to be disrespectful to the staff here...we try to keep things friendly and it is attitudes like yours that will get you booted.

you know what nanook....you can just go ahead and erase this post if you like. I didnt even get close to an answer of what i was wondering. I know some of the people that posted on this one know there stuff. It just got completly out of hand for such a simple question. Maybe I'll just ask the same question in a different manner in a week or so.
