these zoas are not new i can't remember how long i have had them but after i got them they looked like poo for a long time..i would have thought they liked higher light but when i had them there they did not do well at all so i moved them down kinda shaded then they fell on the back side of the rock and i just left them there after i saw they were coming back i moved them back to the front in about the same light and flow and they have started to grow better now...there was only one polyp left for the longest...they are starting to get larger in size now and should look pretty sweet when they fill into a colony....just thought i would share a pic...this is the only pic i have of them now...the 2nd is from when i first got it

Those are nice... funny how the things we neglect tend to thrive and those we baby end up dying.

Do they have names?

I think G.I. Janes would be funny. Camo'd skirts with pink centers.

very nice. it's cool to see someone nurse a random find into something spectacular rather than paying out the *bleep* for something so many people already have. Kudos to you, wrasseguy2.

I'm with you on the naming bs.. it turned the hobby into a joke.
