I hate to post this since the ZFA just purchased spiderman zoanthids, but I just scored a rock with what appear to be spiderman zoas and maybe Cali gold rush or 007 Golden eye? Maybe they are just look alikes.
Any guesses?
Bronco 300-you have them right in fromt of you, what do you think?

jeez, just seeing what you guys get in FL makes me sick. i go to the LFS here and look at the same yellow polyps and sickly looking brown zoas every week. i swear, im about to give up on fish stores for good and start supporting local and non local reefers exclusively. you would never see a rock like that anywhere around here and if you did they would have it up for like $300. i see $80 green rics on the regular and just want to slap someone. i would love to do more online buying/trading but it turns a small $15 frag into a $50 frag after shipping. i guess i just cant win until i move to FL just to support my reef hobby. GEEEEEEEEZ!

sorry to rant mike, your amazing rock of zoas (and pretty much anything you have sitting in any of your tanks) just pushed me over the edge.

I have to absolutely agree with you mkz..
The contrast of blue and orange make that rock look even better

HAHA +1000, if he is saying bronco300 is looking at them, maybe bronco will frag some stuff out, that means sweet ass corals in less than a 2 hr drive

it really irks me that the LFSs will buy the most ugly cheap crap just make some bucks of people who dont know whats really out there. i wish they took the same pride in what they do as we do.

Sorry that some of you have to deal with high prices and all, but these were not cheap. Being here in FL does not mean they are plentiful or cheap. Most of the nice zoanthids come from the Pacific through Ca and with shipping to get them here the price is not what I would call cheap by any means. The only reason I am able to get nice zoas from time to time is because the owner of the LRS know that I and a few others will buy them or he wouldn't put out the high $s to get them into the shop.
If it were not for the ric frags that I am able to sell from time to time I myself wouldn't be able to get these. In turn I can grow them out and offer them, but in the end my bank account stays pretty empty, believe me.
I work a full time and worry along with most other people about making bills and buying gas and food.

my spiders are my favorite in the tank... went from 3 polyps to 6 in about a month. I was actually surprised at the speed. Hopefully it continues...
