i also am a zoo lover and my tank is full of them, and will be getting more tomorrow!!! here are a couple of mine, the pic of the single one has become almost my favorite as it just glows on its own without actinics, its amazing!
and as far as crap colors in stores, sometime you do get lucky like said...i thought i was going to get some dark marron zoos, and i ended up with the other pic you see with the greenzoo and orange zoos(pic 2)...as you can see in the full screen, i have tons...i think i counted of 45different morphs at one time. ***)
if you look up a thread titled "picture diary" you can see tons of pics of my tank, which has tons of zoo pics!

SWEET!
Awsome zoos bronco!
Hey let me know if you frag some and wanna send some my way! I cant find any nice ones around here and not wanting to spend cash on some dull ones just to HOPE they color up. Not sure who to trust on the auction site and MAN are they proud of some of those. I bought some recently from there and they came poorly packed with very little water left on them and where like teeny weeny. They are neet though and are slowly opening more. Some of em arent gonna make it though.
Do they usually ship these in just a little water? I mean like less than a cup with about a 2 inch rock.

thanks...i dont really trust ----...i find that most of them are either wayyyyyyy too expensive, or if they are cheap, somehow shipping is $50something....I buy mostly online, but not ----, or local, but not anymore since ive moved...you can find some pretty good places online for cheap without paying $50 for shipping.
and as for shipping, i've heard that they dont need much water, and no air...but of course they should be covered....and actually i had oceana(from swf) send me some and he experemented with one colony and used just wet paper towel...they opened, but it took about a week or so long to open fully.
where are you at?

I live in Ozark Mo. There are only 3 lfs around here which sell saltwater stuff. None of them sell SW exclusivley, only one of em is an actuall fish store and he has quite a few corals and such, but not SW exclusively. What corals you do find around here are pretty drab. Not sure why, this area is booming right now and has been for the last 20 years or so.I would think there would be enough demand to support a SW only LFS here.

This photo is really off and doesn't reflect the deep blue and green of these zoo's. Monster deal, 6" rocks totally encrusted with polyps, actually got 5 of the 6" rocks for a screamin price
