Hello, I am a new reefer and just brought home these green zoas. I didn't notice these spots at the LFS. Once I got them home and in the tank I saw them. It looks like half are affected. Is this something to be concerned with?

if your talking about the spots on the head its self, id say judging by how even and matched they are would seem to me you have a mixed colonie of RDE and some morphs that got made.

Funny, I totally see the difference in the two now! The ones with the white spots have longer skirts and they are more fluorescent green. I am already getting hooked on these things. At $10 for this cluster hopefully they entertain me a lot longer as I have seen how expense some of the fancier ones go for!!
