[DHarms]

Thanks platypus, you too Dwayne.

[surfnvb7]

those first ones are sweet!!!

and i do believe i see a green mouth...thus an affinity to eat people!! :lol: :lol:

[DHarms]

Yeah they have green mouths. They are very much like PPE's in form. (I assume that is what you were referring to. ) :D

Marvin

[DHarms]

Me too... They are actually all closed up atm, I hope they are just still adapting to the tank.

[DHarms]

Just finished acclimating some new zoanthids...

[Mrs.kbmdale]

DHarms, so where are the pics of the other ones all opened up????:lol:
don't hold out on us! :D

AWESOME pictures and GORGEOUS zoa's/paly's

Brianna:rollface:

[AIMFish]

I like that big green colony!:cool: Place small rocks nearby for fragging!

[bradleyj]

Here is a picture of some of mine, not that they are so nice, but I really thought the picture turned out nice.

[DHarms]

I'll take some pictures and post them up on sunday. All of the frags are more or less fully opened now and coloring up nice. As a sad note: the pink sparklies have been closed for a week+ now. The polyps are bulging like they are maybe gonna reopen from a different side (if that makes any sense.)

[Shooter7]

Here are a couple of mine:

good suggestion.. I don't think I've seen a post showing everyone's full tank shots... :)

let's see them..


Marvin

[Shooter7]

full tank shot! full tank shot!

Don't know if you're referring to me or not, but if so, there's not exactly alot to be seen right now. My tank is pretty new and the corals I have in it were transferred from two smaller systems, a 26 gal and a 10 gal. They came along with a small clown and chromis. So, as you can imagine, I have alot of space to fill with corals and fish yet. :)

The closed polyps are some of the "pink sparklies" from the beginning of the thread... they all look like this right now.

The tiny frag of red skirts (unopened, in middle of picture) I just got today. They have bright yellow centers right now. Curious to see how they turn out. :D

[DHarms]

Very nice! And I would certainly call pallys (Protopalythoa) zoas. Although I don't agree that those pictures are Protopalythoa. :D I think they are just non-matting Zoanthus. I don't think what people typically call pallys, ie. zoanthids like PPE are really pallys. I think polyps like these are pallys:

http://www.zooxanthellae.com/gallery/images/greens3.jpg (http://www.zooxanthellae.com)


At any rate zoa is short for zoanthid, any of the corals from the family Zoanthidae and their kin. Even your yellow polyps, Parazoanthus. :D

I got one more frag today too, but it hasn't opened at all yet, and they were the best ones IMO, I hope they open!

[Mr. Ugly]

http://www.cvreefers.org/d/22507-1/p2.jpg


but they are taking FOREVER to open. What kind of lights/current do you have yours in?

[Reef Junkie]

Wow, these are all great pics!
I recently posted these, but what the heck...

[Stixbaraca]

Reef Junkie those are SWEET!

[Mr. Ugly]

Nice stuff everybody! Especially the pink stardust with green skirts and the LOTR :)

[Reef Junkie]

Thanks guys.
I'm probably going to add these to the IOU's in the spring and will have for trade by April.

[Shooter7]

If any of you have those pink stardust and selling frags of them, let me know. My wife would love some of those. :D

[mntl]

Some orange-rimmed with purple center that I have had for awhile, the tank will be all sps but I havent brought myself to get rid of these.

This is my new favorite one. Turns out I have had the mother colony for about 7 years in the back of the tank (from a frag that I dropped back there forever ago).
