Probably been asked a few times, but that's fine by me ;)

what's your favorite zoa/paly you have?

Mine is the "EZ Paly".. It's got a dark purple center with an extremely bright orange skirt.

Pictures are good ;)
 
i have many. here are some pictures and how can you start a thread with saying pictures are good when you dont add one yourself?

I don't have very many right now, but I'm still pretty fond of my Tubbs blue. Just not a color you see to often in reef tanks.
 
cloak, I absolutely agree. My tubbs are REALLY small. (and I only have 2 polyps, lol.) I couldn't take a picture of that zoa right now...

l love the bright blue and brown skirts though. Have you seen the spidermans on zoaid.com?
Sweet looking as well.
 
those are just a few that i have right now. i dont have many left since my tank crash a few months ago. but those are some of the few that actually made it

tubbs are a nice looking zoa for sure but way over priced like the many others in this hobby now.
 
here's a horrible picture. in person they're much brighter. My tank is getting through a mini cycle as I upgraded from a 34 gallon to a 72, so there's some unsightly algae on the sand :(

For reference, in the shipping bag you could actually see the orange glowing. on its own, with no reef lighting. :cool:

those are really neat. I had a frag similar to those but they bleached bad in my 34 gal tank crash :( hopefully they'll come back.

Thank you for posting
 
If I could narrow it down to just one or even 5 favorite polyps I probably wouldnt keep polyps. All interesting PE's are favorites always.

This has been one that has had my interest for some time. It is a seriously huge polyp....like nickel sized in certain conditions, but the brighter you try to get the colors the polyps shrinks tremendously , and Ive been playing with it trying to get the best of both worlds....huge and colorful. Im getting closer to figuring it out. Its about the size of a dime here in both pics(different systems), and I couldnt find it but I have some pics of it somewhere when it is average zoa sized and the colors are insane...but its tiny and tiny doesnt do much for me no matter how bright it is.

flyyyguy, your tank is amazing. If I had that many zoanthids, I think I'd feel the same as you. Right now I don't have too many ;)

I'd have to say the orange ones (high left) or the greyish ones to the far right. I wish I could get a better pic of the greys. They are dark grey with scattered light grey dots. The green ones on the right are growing on me.

The first pic, do you know what they are called, the closet thing i could find is pinapple passion.. they are my favorite too, or my coco pinks
 
actually thats not my pic and i used to have those zoas but they died due to an ALK problem that i had about 4 months ago. :(
 
I have about 20 different ones so it hard to choose my favorite, but here are few a like..and if anyone knows the names..TIA
