SPStoner were they always that colored up? I recieved some as a freebie in a trade and they are not colored up yet. They look the same as yours just alot less colorful. Hopefuly they turn out as nice as yours in that pic.

That's pretty much how they look in person. Actually the purple/pink part is even a bit more intense in person. Got mine from Jeremy himself. Very nice

hi there!

thought i'd comment on these:
i've seen/had a dozen morphs of pink w/ yellow centers. these definitely take the cake! although, these are kinda pink/lavender with yellow/green centers

that does depend on the lighting though. in my work tank, they are more pink/yellow. in my home tank, more lavender/yellow-green. (same lights, different intensities and tank parameters of course!)

the coloring is just so intense, even under a flash shot:
http://www.zoaid.com/articles.php?id=3 (2nd and 3rd shots)

and i think Mr. Ugly will get my back when i say: yup - they really are that colorful and intense!

(feel free to disagree if ya want Mr. U!

)

they were originally acquired from the now closed "Big Red's Pets" (a local internet outfit a while back) who got them at the wholesaler 'Pacific Aqua Farms' out of LA about 2 years ago or so. i strongly suspect that they are from Tonga, but don't know so.

at any rate, hope that information helps or at least is interesting!

Heh, no disagreement here. Those guys glow

One of those zoas whose pics always makes people think, "photoshop". But true colors, those are.

Definately a special zoa. Wouldn't keep it in my tank otherwise

SuperFishy · #11 08/14/2006, 02:48 AM

came from whodah also

msman825 · #12 08/14/2006, 06:15 AM

^^^ Is there a name for the ones just to the left of the Cat Eyes?

MinibowMatt · #17 08/14/2006, 05:19 PM

they are nice blues. no special name. I had ones that looked just like that, but after a few weeks under my 15K lights, they morphed to have a red ring around them..

neyugn0w01 · #18 08/14/2006, 08:01 PM

those all look very nice. whats the difference between the long fringes and the short stubby ones? could it be lighting?

AngieN. · #19 08/14/2006, 08:11 PM

Wow - I'll have to put those on the must have list!! Those are beautiful.

tank parameters of some sort... could be lighting - but skirt lengths are typically attributed to differences in flow.

they've exhibited both characteristics in my various tanks.

cpreefguy · #21 08/15/2006, 04:08 PM

those are nice!

mecold · #22 08/15/2006, 05:37 PM

I have some in my tank, but they faded when I moved them to lower light. I recently moved them to the upper half of the tank hoping that they will color back as they were an awsome pink when I got them.

thanks.
what about stalk lenght? I have heard it could be from lighting either too much or too little, but I have some that are bright as heck and are stretching.

yes, typically stalk length is attributed to lighting. usually too little lighting for that particular zoa induces it to stretch in attempt to get closer to 'the sun'

you mentioned you had some that are 'bright as heck' that are stretching - do you mean the zoanthid itself is a bright color? or that they are stretching in a brightly lit tank? if the later, what are the lighting specifications of the tank and at what height are the zoas placed in the tank?
