    Is he still here??

    No, it wasn't because of the selling, I really do not have anything to sell except from time to time but that is far between as I am growing out my streamlined zoas now. The reason I have not been posting is I was given a demerit for something stupid even without a warning. I do not recall the...

    FlricordiaZFA growout updates here.

    No change to the spidermans. I recieved them as I stated before in an overheated box. The water I put a therm into and it was over 90F. They are still alive but not doing anything. Only a couple polyps. If anyone that is in the growout for them would like me to send them to you I will gladly do...

    My Modest Zoa Collection

    I just looked at the last pic a little closer myself. I swear looks like a nudi to the mid-upper left. Looks like one but the zoas wouldn't be open if it was. What is that? Odd colored skirt?

    And I was wrong about the Spiderman's. There are 4 polyps so maybe they will start to spread. I am thinking about separating them from the green zoanthids growing alongside.

    Just one of those evenings when I can't take my eyes off the zoanthids and their beautiful colors. Couple closeups of the Rainbows. Check those colors out. Think the group picked a winner zoa for sure. Those that bought into these are going to be stunned when they seen these in person. I notice...

    color change

    Lower light will bring them back to color. When zoanthids, corals, any xoozanthellae hosting animal gets too much lighting the xoozanthellae multiply dramatically. One result is that because algae are brown/golden in color the host animal will also appear brownish/golden. Also what can happen...

    Latest pics. Spidermans are still alive and doing well but have not started to spread any. Nightmares and Rainbows both are averaging about 8 polyps per person so far. Have plenty of room allotted for when spring roles around. There might be a bagillion polyps on each frag, well, at least a...

    My big paly from Flricordia

    Yes, take a razor blade and cut through the mat and dip the open wound into iodine (all I am familiar with is Kent's Iodine so can't give any recommendations for any other brands) and let them sit for about 30 seconds out in the dry, reglue them to a mount or whatever and place them in the tank...

Zoanthus do not normally feed though...
