Never seen Zoanthids.

Has anyone ever. Seen white on white? Meaning white skirt and white body/mouth?

If not I shall call it whitey or casper or albino

Collected it today. Will post pics tomorrow.

This was taken under 20k radiums with two blue+ and two coral+ bulbs.

But they are really white. With this photo I did zero photo shop.

Way to deliver on pics! Interesting look, white polyps, white skirts, embedded in white mat. What part of the world do these come from?

Those are interesting, the centers look a bit more lavender than white though. Perhaps it's just the photo, nice looking zoas regardless.

A lot of things can be bleached in their natural environment, I think once these sit in your tank for a few weeks they'll look very different. If you can get a picture with the flash on or less blue it'll be easier to get an idea of what they'll color up like.

But I'm wondering how sure you are they are from Japan? Almost all zoas that are said to come from Japan are actually from Vietnam.

I live in Okinawa. I am thinking shipping would be a bit on the expensive side.

I thought you can't ship that outta Japan due to CITES. since those polyps are the encrusting type which would prove hard to remove from the rock they're on?

Sort of off topic, but aren't those Palythoas as opposed to Zoanthids?

LMAP that is a macro shot with zero photoshop.

You want me to drop my gopro in the tank and make you a video? They appear in my tank the exact way you see them in the pic exept there is a little lavander in the pic.

Exactly, it's a ridiculously blue saturated macro shot that's impossible to white balance so it's impossible to tell any color. How they look to you in your tank is not how they'd look in a tank that wasn't super saturated with blue, so no one can say what the color is. If I show you a picture of a blue piece of paper and tell you it's white but appears a little lavender you're going to be asking for a picture that shows a white piece of paper.

You're the one who said you were taking more pics 9 days ago, so not sure why you're getting snappy.

Dude get over it. I am active duty military and have better/more important things to do the listen to a troll tell me how to take my pictures.

So since you are so intelligent and seem to know how photos work and white balance, why don't you use your brain, say hmm they look a little more blue than they should do to the pictures being taken under 20k radiums. Then close your eyes and imagine if they were under 6k lights and think to yourself. Hmm they may look yellow. Since they are not that blue under blue lights and they make look yellow under 6k then just maybe they are white and reflecting what ever color they are under. So hmm maybe under a crisp white 14k they might just look white.
