Last night I was "watching the corals grow" so to speak.. ok, literally… and I found a freebie Zoa on my yellow colony polyps. Its bright orange in the middle and has a grey skirt. I'm really digging the zoos, so I was excited to find this new guy hiding in my tank.

Been trying to get a picture, but its far enough back in the tank that its blurry and my photog skills are not quite where they should be yet. I'll keep trying.

I just wanted to share my excitement. :dance:

I bought a yellow colony polyp rock and found 6 or so zoas on one part of it when I got it in my tank. Also got a free Pom-Pom crab with that rock. Lol.

Freebie coral is always a bonus, Ive gotten a few really nice shrooms this way, enjoy watching them grow....I know I do =)

Here's a pic of the little freebie Zoa.. I spent all afternoon snapping hundreds of pics and only one came out mostly decent. I really need a macro lens.

Nice!
Here's mine. Might be a paly (it's the same size as the yellow polyps). Not sure as I'm new to coral. Lol. I haven't seen my free Pom-Pom crab since I put it in my tank.

Those are really pretty, Fish! Can't believe you got a pom pom crab as a hitcher.
I lose my hermits for a few days at a time but then the next time I see them they've grown lol
