No. But if anyone is interested I will sell them for 1/10 that ridiculous price. :lol:

just kidding.....cant sell them anyway.

Im struggling to save even a handful of them. It was a wild colony I picked up that was infested with more than one pest and melting to boot on arrival. It hasnt been anywhere near my main display yet and so far ive lost all but 7 or 8 out of 250 polyps. these last polyps have been holding their own for several days now so im hopefull they will pull through as I do like the morph.

saltman123 11/26/2007 11:21 PM

Zoa Spiders.

NanoReefWanabe 11/27/2007 06:20 PM

yeah those spiders are super nasty little buggers...and they tend to tear the zoas when you pull them off...

BIG AL"s just a got huge shipment of nice sweet zoa frags here..but i am affraid of the wild colonies after dealing with countless spiders and nudibranchs i got from them..but i may to chance it for a colony of yellow and green zoas.

Best thing to do if you buy a whole wild colony is to frag it apart. I've heard that spiders will live under the polyps as well, eating them from underneath. So break apart that rock and check it good.

wow, nice pics..... what kind of camera did you use??

flyyyguy 12/04/2007 12:14 AM

i borrowed a bug from a buddy today and tried to get a good pic....he wouldnt cooperate though and face me no matter how hard i tried.......im still playing with him but so far this is the best I could do
