I'm not exactly sure what these are but they are BRIGHT yellow & shaped like a zoa/paly/proto polyp:

MUCHO REEF · #27 01/05/2008, 08:00 AM

I posted the same under your other picture of these. They appear to be Palythoa Grandis.

I've just never seen them in this color. Are Grandis slow growers? Only after dosing the C, has it finally grown another polyp (I've had these since early summer).

The picture is fuzzy but they do appear to be Palythoa Grandis. They generally are slow growers and if they have a yellow colorization its because of either your lighting or the water conditions they may have been in. Usually lighting. They should darken up, let us know.

I've got them a little above mid-tank, under 6 T5 bulbs. They are as bright yellow as the day I bought them, early this summer. Al lthe Grandis I've ever seen are a combo of copper, white or blue.

They look a little green with the actinics, but they're REALLY yellow!

DJChesnutRabbit · #33 01/06/2008, 12:43 AM

I also have these that got a bit of yellow in them.

A yellow oral disc in the pic below.

I have a couple different true yellows in my tank, but no camera to take a pic of them.

I have some really nice yellow disc zoo's that I'll try to get a pic of tomorrow. They glow bright yellow under the atinics.

Pufferpunk · #36 01/06/2008, 04:17 PM

Mucho, Those are absolutely stunning! Nice, crisp pic too. Boy, do I need a macro lens.

MUCHO REEF · #37 01/06/2008, 05:00 PM

I didn't use a macro lens for that shot, LOL. I used my old Sony DSC-F707. I placed the frag 2 inches from the front glass on the substrate. I then press the lens of the Sony which was 5 Megapixel Digital Camera, flat against the front glass and fired away. I did however set it to macro mode. They key to a good macro shot is not only the lens, but to steady the camera with a Tri-pod or flush against the glass. Trust me, this is a horrible picture, I can do much better. I'm close to getting me a new camera, just waiting on a price drop as I'm buying an awful lot of accessories.

Was that pic photoshoped at all? It seems super vivid & bright. I havent ever seen any that vivid in person. If not I need some lessons in photography from you. Awesome zoa & thanks for the pic.

hatfielj · #39 01/06/2008, 06:51 PM

I would bet it is not photoshopped at all. Maybe white balanced if anything? Zoo's like that under the proper amount of atinic lighting can really pop like that in person.
Awesome colors mucho!

Heres white with yellow splash and yellow skirts:

And here are my favorites, pure yellow, no photoshop, no flash, crappy sony 4mp camera with 14k hamilton 175s:

Oh forgot I had this picture on my computer, the ones on the right have a yellow/green center with a yellow skirt in person:

Pufferpunk · #42 01/07/2008, 03:25 AM

Now those are YELLOW!

Had these a while back...

breebauer · #45 01/08/2008, 12:36 AM

I don't have much, but funny that I saw this thread, because I just bought these today... They're not even really open yet, and I have no idea how to use my crappy camera, but hey... they're yellow:

Just opening:

Again, I have no clue how to use my camera, sorry for the crappy pics...

If you were looking for some yellow's, and want to trade, I 'm pretty sure I could frag this piece...

The polyps on this type are real small, and look like they might be the encrusting kind of zoa.

Like I said, I just got this piece, but after I'm sure it's safe, if you're desperate, I'll split it, just let me know,

HTH....

I don't know why but i am in the mood for some fried eggs now!
