I've attached some pics of zoas that I just got specifically eagle eyes, but the blue rings won't show. What kind of lighting is needed for that to happen? I have 2 75W VHO, one blue actinic and the other aquasun. I also have a 14 K 175W metal halide. How do I get the green skirts to get that long?

are these your pics? or someone elses?

I'd say your lighting set up is perfect....but what size tank do you have?

for the most part, the skirt length like in the above pics is a result of strong turbulent flow in the tank.

as far as what the EE's look like. like i said, i think your lights are fine (depends on your tank size though). just give them time to adjust. sometimes new zoa frags for me take 2months or more to finally color up.

They're in a 29 gallon. Those aren't my pics, they're the pics from the guy I got them from.
