i got some tub blues last year early summer. they are a nice zoa but mine seem to be getting smaller. when i got them they were small polyps and had a nice green met skirt. but since then the polyps have shrunk a little and the skirt is no longer a vis. metalic green color. not sure if it is because i have them under PCs or what. does anyone know if they like light more so then the reg zoa? i want to try and find a spot that they will grow is size a little more and the green skirt will come back. i hink the frag that i have has something like 10-15 polyps on it, but all in a space the size of maybe a quarter.

Lighting, water quality, and nutrient exchange has alot to do with it. I find that all zoas color up more under MH. They tend to morph under PC.

So I am seriously looking for a big colony of tubs, I dont care if I spend $$$$$ I want like 30 polyps, so if anyone finds a nice big colony let me know!

SHHHHHHH!!! Hey Helfrich's Chick, don't tell anyone but Tub's Blues are on sale at Atlantis Aquarium :ninja:

 

Uh oh. It looks like they just updated their site and they're no longer on sale. Sorry. They still have them listed under their frag section but for more $$$

I dont want to spend $300 or anything but I do want a colony of about 30. Is it the general price at $10 a polyp>? If thats the case I might have to settle for 15-20. Arent tubs fast growers?

Pretty quick. I started with 5 about 6 months ago and now I have 25-30.

My understanding is that the tubs blue grow fast but the lighter blues do not. Well I will keep an eyer out. I need to get a start on my tank light set up tonight so they will have to wait. PLUS when I do my Ricordea order in Feb I am getting about 200 polyps. Dont know what colors but the frags ROCKED last time. Each one had about 20-40 polyps and were only $7 each. Cant beat that! I did tell him that if they have any blues that I want em, so I might be getting those anyways. :)

well i have mine under pcs, but i don't think that would do it alone do you? as for water wuality i chck my params and they all look good. although when i say i chck my params i mean the main ones. are there any that spec apply making the water qual better for zoas? also i don't dose my water with anything, do you guys add anything to the water for the zoas?

 

i have also noticed that when people talk about different morphs in this case tubs they all look different. what is the standard characteristics for this morph? i looked on zoaid but they didn't really have anything writen just pics.

cool let us see pics when you get them! I am getting abunch of frags in Feb so all I am looking for right now is the tubs.

I picked up the frags on Saturday. Here are pictures.

I mislabeled the armor of god, I labled them armageddon...I was watching the movie before I edit the pics... -_-

Are those Armor of the God's really worth the price? I've got an opportunity to buy some at $10/polyp this weekend, but I'm hesitant at whether or not they're really worth it.

I have seen nicer palys for about the same price but AOG are really nice and a must have in a zoa collection. IMHO AOGII are nicer than AOG. The black ring is really nice.
