[FEEDERFISH]

I bought these as frags about 1-2 months ago take a look at the changes that have taken place, no changes in MH lamps or actinics, just one tank to another

yep..it's amazing how they can change appearance in one tank vs. another. That's why I tend to be a little skeptical about many of the named varieties floating around.

The difference between blue, red, orange, pink, and UGLY BROWN is very subtle and transient when it comes to Zoas. Lights and nutrients can drastically change their appearance.

Taking pictures is a good idea to tell the changes . Those really changed,at least they stayed nice looking .I had a colony go from bright yellow to common green in my tank,mother colony in another system is still yellow .
I have to start taking pictures when I first put them in my tank and that way I can notice/document the changes . I am probably also going to photo before I move them to a new location in the same tank.

Looks like the skirts have lengthened as well. High flow conditions?

Wow. I really like the top ones.

Really cool.

What ever you are doing: flow, water quality, lighting height, placement in the tank--- seems they are happy.

Congrats.

Both frags came from tanks w/ T-5, I run DE MH w/ T-5 supplement, I also have med+ flow so the skirts do move in the flow, I keep levels (Salifert) at 9.5-10 DKH 395-405 CA Mg 1290, I dose E.S.V Bionic 2 part w/ E.S.V Mg, Reef Crystals as a salt and have aggressive skimming
