thanks . right now we have approc 60-70 different color morphs not including any browns, and so far i think its a tie between this one and two others as to which are my favorites.

I only count the ones that I have 20 or more polyps of. if i added the small 1 or two polyp frags would guess we have more then 100 different kinds

ReefWifey · #14 04/20/2006, 03:34 PM

Oceana - Do you have more pics, like of the whole tank? Sounds awesome!

oceana · #15 04/20/2006, 03:45 PM

ReefWifey · #16 04/20/2006, 03:47 PM

Beautiful!

koletangz · #17 04/20/2006, 04:04 PM

Wow, nice zoos and even nicer tank. Any chance we can see pictures of your other 2 favorites?

EvilMel · #18 04/20/2006, 04:06 PM

That's an awesome zoa!

Is that a carpet anemone? How long have you had it? It looks very healthy.

oceana · #19 04/20/2006, 04:27 PM

thanks. and yes it is a carpet. its around a year old

ecotoxlady · #20 04/20/2006, 05:55 PM

oceana, I'd love to see pics of your two other favorites too

That is a gorgeous tank! Is that the 140G?

oceana · #21 04/20/2006, 06:09 PM

yes it is a 140.

whodah · #22 04/20/2006, 06:24 PM

incredible! how's their growth rate?

oceana · #23 04/20/2006, 06:31 PM

i tend to drop around 5 polyps a month. oddly enough for a lower light needing coral the green/yellow ring gets very faint under any of our lights. but when placed in the tank with the most extreme lighting 3x400 MH radiums 2x110 VHOthe ring comes in VERY bright and very quickly. in two weeks it is much brighter. i find the same thing with blue zoanthids.

CoralNutz · #24 04/20/2006, 06:56 PM

Excellent looking tank oceana!

Love the variety and the way it's filled in. Keep up the good work.

ecotoxlady · #25 04/20/2006, 08:13 PM

Are those under 20K MH bulbs?
