Yellow Sunshine Zoanthids

[Eastamherstbias]

I am in Vegas and I stopped by a random lfs as I wandered the valley. Clean and nice store. The only item they had that I had never seen before was the yellow sunshine zoanthid. Completely yellow. Has anyone seen them before? Do they exist in WNY? They look like good growers.

Those almost look like a bleached out version of some Vietnam zoas I have.

You are actually the second person to say that. They had a lot of them growing in different locations but all under metal halides. They were near the Ora sps and nothing else appeared bleached.

Austin,
Mine are mettalic yellow but with a very thin black ring before the skirt. I will take a pic tomorrow.

Upon much closer inspection polyp extension they are not too similar at all. Color is slightly the same, but polyp structure is completely different.

They were cool. If only I could have found a way to carry them on the plane. They would have looked great against my black soil.
