Zoanthids: Some Eyecandy!

Good lights and flow. I have better growth now that I switched from MH to VHO. I feed my fish a lot. I think zoanthids benefit from a well fed tank.
Main thing is... put them in a spot and don't mess with them. If you move them, their growth resets as they re-adjust to the new lighting.

WAX!
That zoo colony #20 is freakin awesome!

I don't ever see anything like that in my lfs. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any like that on any coral website to purchase!!!
Makes my green ones look like crap in comparison!
I want, I want, I want

They are actually pretty common. They are sometimes listed as "eagle eyes". I also have a small colony of them I got as a frag from my LFS a few months ago, and they have some more of them right now. Can't be too hard to come by.

Maybe one day, but not just yet. I am wanting to let these settle in, so I can get a feel for their growth under the VHOs. I don't want to mess with them by taking a frag, which might throw them off.

Here is a new frag I just picked up:

Zoanthid Colony #31
These guys are way cooler than the photo shows. The really
pop under actinics, but they look lavender/blue/purple under my daytime setup (5 actinics, 2 10000k's).

Well, hopefully when they go on the 28th, and update the members only page, you will get a newsletter.

I thought I sent you a link to the members page?
