Show your crazy zooanthids!

[Moe_K]

This was a picture I took back in 2003 of another BRS member's tank. He went by the handle of MokeyBoy.
Cool, cool zooanthid overgrowth in his tanks.
I'd love to know if anyone has some of these cool orange, the maroon, the lime green w/ ice blue centers, and especially the big blue zoos... Can you tell I have no idea of the hobby names for these things?

Show us the cool zooanthids in your tank.

I have only recently gotten into zoanthids. Only have a few 'cool' mini frags/colonies at this point.... PPE, Lunar Eclipse, king midas, flaming suns. I had 1 polyp of utter chaos, but it released itself from the plug, and I have no idea where it went. bummer.

Cool looking collection there RiverRat.

Wish I knew the names of these polyps. Maybe there's a visual guide out there on the interwebs?

Those are some nice ones, Moe! I love zoas, but I have a hard time keeping most of them. Here's an ID site that might help ya.

Cool thread idea. I had the start of a nice zoa colony until for whatever reason more than half of them just started melting away for reasons unknown.

i agree very cool thread idea, im jealous my old system zoas never did good in but im hoping my new system they do

I had these no frills zoos in my 55:

And I guess these are eagle eyes I picked up from a BRS member:

That's about as crazy as I've gotten with zoos.
What else is out there locally?

I'd like to see the diversity we have in zoos.

Here's a few shots of my zoa's. You can see in the FTS that I'm trying to have a nice mixed zoa colony cover that rock in center.

So I had an idea... Just throwing this out there... What if each of us were to trade a polyp of our zoas to each other to help each other build a sweet mixed zoa colony? Let's say 5 of us go in on it, that would mean giving four polyps away for 4 diff polyps. What you guys think?

 

[gsxr750]

Iam down for that !! ....maybe start a new thread with that idea ..
