It's not the double skirts that is unique, it's the forked tentacles on the inner skirt. Link to comment

Courtesy of Mr. Vu Tran <---camera man/editing. Camera; Nikon D90, sigma 17-70mm Edited with Adobe Lightroom. Maybe zoas are always like this, it's just that we've never noticed them in a super macro image. Link to comment
JNA_DESIGN Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 No... They are never like this... You have a very cool morph there... If I was you... Id give them to me.

castiel Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 FREE PETCO ZOAS. These guys have also started sprouting! WEIRD!!!!!!!!! So wait, other completely different zoas in the same tank have now also shown the mutation? Wow, wtf are you feeding these things?! Link to comment
NoChikenStrips Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 So wait, other completely different zoas in the same tank have now also shown the mutation? Wow, wtf are you feeding these things?! can you feed zoas? He feeds his Goniopora phytoplankton. Rod's original for the LPS. So thats what's in the water column for the zoas to filter i guess.

crx2ner Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Is kansas local enough? I can drive... and if u say yes there may be a few others here thatd be interested haha. Link to comment
castiel Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Jokes aside about how many people are interested, you should think carefully about how you manage the distribution of this. You've mentioned $5/polyp, but I expect people would pay at least 10x that amount. And if you were to prove that these could be fragged and develop this mutation in another tank, then probably more than that. I can guarantee that someone you sell this to cheaply will do exactly that - turn this into the next 'designer' zoa and make money from it. If I were you I would beat them to the punch and do so yourself. Link to comment
Swanwillow Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I can see this now. ~brings a friend over who's a non reefer to look at the tank~ I paid 20 bucks for that polyp! ...okay, why? Well, you can't really see it, but if you look through this camera, or microscope. Here... I'll just show you a picture on the internet of what the tentacles look like ...why would you pay 20 dollars for something you can't see? Because its... umm... cool? ~~~~~~~~~~ My god, why create designer corals every ten minutes. Sure, its neat. But really. 1) he doesn't know if it would happen in others tanks. 2) its his friends tank. 3) you can't really see the differences unless you had a giant colony of it I'm sure. now you get to hear the 'I remember when' When I first started reefing, something like that would have been passed around at frag meetings (yes, meetings, not swaps) for max 5 bucks. Even if it was cool. But that was also when you could get colonies for 60 bucks. (I fondly remember my first coral-a galaxea colony the size of a base ball mitt. not a base ball. the mitt.)

Noxinal Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Those are super cool. You should frag a couple polyps to keep, and sell the rest to me. I'll distribute them. Link to comment
