what lighting do you have. I have a 150 with 3 250 wtt mh, and all my zoo seem to be reaching for light. I a going to ad 3 36 inch T5s with actinic, but not sure what else i need to do.

on the tank those zoanthids are in for the pics i run 2 250 10K HQI and 2 130 pc's. on the main tank i run 3x400 MH and 4x110 VHO.
I find that although some of the zoanthids and sea mat polyps will change colors most of them only get better under intense lighting. they dont need it but i sure as heck have yet to see and neg effect. there are some however that always seem to change to a color i dont like.
IE when i put nice blue zoas in the main tank they almost always turn to a greenish purple. still nice but not blue. then if they go back to one of the tank with less lighting they keep the nice blue color. I would say it could also be a difference in water quality but all of my tanks are plumbed together as one large system. the only real difference in the tanks is lighting

yes oceana!, those look so awesome. how much did you pay for them?, my guess is you bought a frag, but how much were they?, my guess is they'd be fine under pc's, i have 130watt pc's on my 30 extra high, and i'd like to fill my tank with that coloration of zoos and maybe a kenya tree or somethin.

ya know i am not sure what i paid i buy so many corals i lose track lol.
that particular rock was purchase as is. matter a fact it is much begger then what you see in the pic. its around 6x8 fully covered. and yes zoanthids woudl do great under your lighting. some colors may not stay "as" bright but over all they will do very well

not like i used to. it started as a hobby and turned into a full time job which i I already had and did not need another and in the end really not worth the trouble. now its just every now and then when i want to trade something. If I ever chose to frag some stuff again give me your email and we can work out a trade. I know you must have collected something i want by now lol
