slickwill613 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Says the title. Wife took this with her older iphone. These are my first zoas, I thought it was a half decent pic. Wanted to share. Was a $10 frag, less than a week in the tank. I really liked that there were two different colors on it. Also liked the clown cameo. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Cool coral imo. I would have paid 10 dollars too I personally don't think it matters if a frag is rare or not. As long as you enjoy your aquarium, that's what matters! Link to comment

I hate teh fancy names, and honestly the only one I can ever even remember happens to be one of the ones you got. The green fellas are called Radioactive Dragon Eyes, just in case you were wondering anyways. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Agree with the others, im a zoa/paly fan, and as long as you like them, its what matters. Link to comment
jwelt Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Because of the hype some zoas and palys have I have noticed that the more common ones are very cheap at my LFS. i got a paly colony (about 12 polyps on a nice piece of LR) for under $5 because someone threw it in the liverock tank. Since I have gotten it the polyps have changed from brown to almost a brown/purple color and look very beautiful - and I wouldn't trade them away for anything. One man's unwanted polyps are another man's affordable corals! Link to comment
BulkRate Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ditto all on avoiding the "name game". Only value to me in a named coral is maybe getting some clue as to appearance if swapping with another reefer and not having a pic handy, or when there's some note about what lighting/flow is preferred for that particular morph so that I don't have to play place-that-frag bingo after acclimating. I've had far, far better luck and enjoyment combing LFS frag tanks for robust-looking $5-10 bargain colonies that simply look nice in my tank. And have occasionaly wound up with a couple kinds of "LE" zoas that are out of the popularity/premium curve in the process. You've got the start of a nice zoa rock there...both zoas on it are known for being steady growers given halfway decent conditions and an interesting structure for them to grow on to boot..

Yeah. thats why I picked that spot. The pic doesn't really show how cool that rocks shape is. Link to comment
