That Duncan looks familiar :) I think I have his sister in my tank. Mine looks like that too and has 3 babies trying push out. I bought it as a single head purchase (I was cheap). My other Duncan doesn't show any babies on it's side and I've had it for a month already. I don't think that one is ORA grown at all.

The pink Acro with the yellow polyps looks very much like A. secale to me, could be wrong though. Looks like you got some nice pieces there.

Great collection of frags that you have going, I can't say that I'm not jealous!

The good: I just received my two shipments today!
The bad: Both were leaking water from the boxes when I received them

The better: Most of them should be salvageable.
Pics will be up soon!

Those babies will grow VERY quickly. Cheap is the way to go with these guys, anyways.. They're pretty fast growers with consistent feeding.
What, and how often are you feeding the other duncan?

Thanks for the ID suggestion; I'll look into it!
I've currently got it on a lower tier of my frag rack, because I have a slight hunch it may color up even more.

Until last week I wasn't spot feeding him with anything else but this coral frenzy stuff. Now I'm spot feeding him with more meaty stuff.

I haven't taken the time to take pics of everything yet, as many of the new guys have yet to open up / extend polyps. Here are a few pics for the time being, though...
Tyree Watermelon Chalice... This is how the frag looked before it was shipped. Unfortunately, I received it in a punctured bag with no water, and the chalice came unmounted... I'm not sure if it will make it, but I will post an updated pic a little later. I hope it sticks it out!!


I love this acro... green base and blue tips. And some (I think) RPE's right next to it.

Aussie Acan Rotundaflora Hybrid

Super Skittles Aussie Acan

Meaty is the way to go. I've been spot-feeding mine mysis and bits of krill every night.

Nice frags! I've got a question, how do you tell the difference between a named zoa (like say your zombie eye) and a "common" green skirted, orange-centered zoa? Perhaps your zombie eye's have more color that I couldn't see in the picture?

I've got some zoas that sound like the ones you're talking about. Green body and skirt with an orange center. I've seen them referred to as 'Miami Hurricane' zoos...
Pretty much any and all zoos are given ridiculous names and referred to as such by various people. It's just an easier way to identify them.

My apologies for the excessively blurry photos... I was impatient.
Blastomussa Merleti's, AOG polyp

I ordered this for someone else who is coming to pick up a few things from me, but I had to post a picture just because of the NEON green... This hydno glows brighter than anything else I've ever seen...

ROAB orange polyp green digi... The color is faded because it was fragged and mounted upside down. I can't wait for the green to come in.

Crappy pic of the Seriatapora Gold Birdsnest

Here's one of the Devil's Armors opening up...

I'll post some more a little later...

GRabbit, that chalice in the earlier pic is gorgeous!!! The red and white striped one. What name did you buy that under, and how big is it. It looked to have quite a few heads on it. The other smaller frag is pretty too, sorry to hear that they didnt package it very well, hope it sticks it out.

If your ever going to frag that red and white chalice i would be interested in trading it for a frag of my pink one....Just an offer
I know you will want it to grow for a while, but mabye in the future.

The red and white coral in the pic I think you're talking about is actually an acan, not a chalice. It's a rotundaflora hybrid

So how in the world do you find out what your zoas are "named" if you purchased them name unknown?

For a rotundaflora, the price was pretty good for their rarity (I love the patterns). I'll keep you in mind when the time comes to frag.

Typically, if you don't happen to match up any pictures with names on a forum such as this, zoaid.com is your best bet.
