Yep I was told they are muscles...I guess I don't know the difference between them? But yes I got them at the swap...ill post pics when I get them home and they open up...I think it was a pretty great deal though...maybe a 6" rock all the way full of at least 4 different types of colonies on it...them she threw in 2 other zoa frag pegs...also grabbed a fire shrimp...they also had a 5 gallon tank with 3 jelly fish all setup and ready to go for $400...that was tempting but I really don't wanna impulse buy something for $400 lol

"Mussel is the common name used for members of several families of clamsor bivalve molluscs, from saltwater and freshwaterhabitats. These groups have in common a shell whose outline is elongated and asymmetrical compared with other edible clams, which are often more or less rounded or oval."

yeah these said between 1-2 years..pretty much convinced me that I didn't want them...that must be a captivity thing? I imagine the ones in the wild can't only live 1- 2 years?
Oh and now I have to buy better lights for my tank cuz my kessil 150's don't do the zoas justice in any way of course...I see the 160's have adjustments for the intensity and what not...im not sure why I didn't just go with those in the first place
oh and I got the zoas for $40...looked at similar things on live aquaria and they are anywhere from $100-$200 so pretty good deal I think

yeah they are around 400. With the 150 and a 160 you will have a lot more light. If you hang them close together the different colors should merge, at least to your eye. Can always add more later. I started with the 2 160s on a 6 foot tank then added first one 360, so I had one 360 on one side and 2 160s on the other. I later added the second 360 and configured them with one of each on each side. I have that same configuration now on the 5' tank. I will add another 360 maybe this summer then maybe a fourth.
