Hey all, I'm looking for some Zoo's to fill out some spots in my tank. Color isn't really important, as long as they're not brown. The smaller polyp'd ones look better to me. I don't have a whole lot to trade as of yet, but can probably get a frag of some Torch, or some hairy shrooms to trade. I'd be willing to pay for the frags as well. 4 to 6 polyps are just fine. If anyone has these, or has a piece of rubble they can get some to grow onto, that would be great. No LFS has any colorful ones for sale, and I can't see spending $100 getting some online. Thanks, Mike:bum:

I have a few colors to trade that are pretty colorful, but they all have a brown rim.
The three types are turqouise, yellow(bright peach under actinics), and whitish yellow centers that also look a little peach under actinics.
I have two 4 polyp frag of ones with bright orange centers, too.
I was gonna bring these to the meeting, but missed out.
Shrooms too.

?Jerry? I owe you some. I like those green zo you had a few of, are ya willing to try to peel a few off? Its hit and miss, unfortunatly. I just tried for the first time to remove zos that weren't forming a tight, intertwining mat that just pulls off, and killed some with no success. I was using a very fine surgical forceps and it seemed to pop or tear the zos mostly.

I would have lost more, but I kicked up some of the stuff using a powerhead.
Not ot mention, the detritus that is kicked up is prime food for many corals, especially ones like capnella that don't get alot of energy from the zooxanthellae.

I don't have any pics, but you can see them firsthand if you'd like.

Check out my first post for zoanthid descriptions.

In the Turf swap, my friend is getting a bunch of purple shroom. I'll be getting a few and would like to swap for some shrooms, too. Any shrooms?
