[TheJordans]

Beautiful pics, guys!! Super jealous!!

These are the couple that I picked up from Oceanarium the other day, along with some I bought recently at a LFS:



"Strawberries and Cream"


"Fluro Green"


"Canary Yellow"


The ones from the LFS

I need to clean up my glass before photographing the rest of my zoas ... but my red hornets are going well, thanks @vpreef

And here's your frag of Flourobscene, Bek @TheJordans from @Oceanarium which I love dearly

Here for you whenever you are back this way :D

 

[rockerpeller]

I'll have a frag of the ones you got from the LFS ready soon, @TheJordans. Those things grow like crazy, and have spread over a few fragtiles I have in the rack.

 

[daniel]

What ones are you talking about?

 

[rockerpeller]

The very last photo in beks post above. The small purple/aqua zoas. well they're alot smaller in comparison to the other zoas I have.

 

[TheJordans]

@chimaera - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
Thank you so much! It won't be for a little while, but I'm so excited!!!

 

[TheJordans]

And @rockerpeller they're awesome, aren't they?! I'm hoping that these ones spread onto the surrounding rocks so that I can then frag up the mother colony :-D

They are great for cover. I've noticed they don't like too much light and have grown over the tiles in the opposite direction to the coral flares. Interesting experiment with surrounding these guys. Now that I know how to frag them, I'm sure I'll have more ready soon.

They are nice, I find it difficult to get the florescent pop to show in a pic, but they always stand out from the others surrounding IRL. Looks like you used a bit of blue light in the photo to show them well.

Great name for them, by the way :D

 

[Sarg]

here are some average slightly out of focus ones of mine.... i need a macro lens!

Gold and Red with Biege centre

Blue with green ring and Orange centre

Red People Eaters three different varients

The Hornets

Orange, Green and Yellows

Eagle Eyes

The pick of the pics the rest are worse than these.

 

[TheJordans]

@Sarg - What lights are you running? We have the same People Eaters as you (deep red with green mouths) and they became quite long back in the old tank under T5s, but in spite of being moved to LEDs, they've not shrunk back down :/

Maybe move them to a spot with more intense light? Under my old leds the zoas used to "reach up" and I think they werent getting enough. Here is an old pic of the eagle eyes and pinks....

See them all reaching up, even though they are on the sand they used to be 1/3 up the old scape and were the same, and now they are flat pancakes!

Here are the pinks hugging the rock still on the bottom....

They are under an ATI hybrid light. Im only running the four of the t5's for an hour a day the rest is led. It seems to pack a fair punch! I thought t5's would have had them flat as a tack!

Wish I had nice zoanthids..anyone want to hook me up..

Hmmm. Thank you!

They're about 1/3+ up the tank off the floor and they're just over an inch long *shock* And even worse, I fragged them a few months back (just took two polyps) and they reside up on the frag rack - about 20cm from the surface - and they're STILL about 1.5cm long!! And next to them (up on the frag rack) I have my Canary Yellows from Oceanarium and they're over an INCH!!

Not happy, Jan :(

Might have to see if I can swindle a visit from @Synodontis one day so he can set our lights up properly. Me = retarded lol

And @Jimmy - I'll swap you some zoa frags for a ric :P
