Zoos blooming.

[florida joe]

Just thought it would be nice to post a pic as soon as the lights came on and one after my zoos started to bloom

I know this is gonna be out there, but I like the featherduster in the pic. I think it looks like the one my LFS had that looked fake.

 

[salt210]

didnt see the bottom pic before my first post. I like the zoas in the 2nd pic on the top.

 

[florida joe]

I can assure you it’s the real thing also did you notice the designer crab in the first pic

 

[salt210]

I know they are real, but their appearance made them look fake. couldnt really tell, but the only thing I could see was something that looked out of place on the zoas.

I like the blue ones. Those are gorgeous.
Also answers a looming question in my tank as to whether or not the encroaching GSP and my Zoas will play nice together.

 

[florida joe]

It is actually a double edges sword. As the GSP will not sting zoos, at least I have not found them to. They will encroach after time on their area and may in fact cover them with their mat

 

[nycbob]

nice pics. watch out for the gsp. it will overgrow ur zoas and suffocate them over time.

Ah - thanks for the info.
They're far enough apart that is not an immediate threat, and on separate rocks as well, so shouldn't be a long term issue.
Next up in my education: learning how to frag. (I do know to wear gloves - not much beyond that tho...)

I LOVE the pic. I want something like that growing in my tank..

Do you feed phytoplankton to them or what? Back in February, I spent a lot of $ buying various zoos, goniopora, pom pom, etc.. Most of them died within a few months (starvation?), but what survived has thrived. What survived were frogspawn, mushrooms, and several ricordea.

Actually my phytoplankton feeding is hit and miss. I do not feed on a regular basis. I just find Zoos really easy to keep

I am having the worst luck with them. Just bought another little rock with 5 polyps on it. My GF glued it to another rock. Then I somehow accidentally managed to knock that off it's perch, and the polyps broke off during the fall from height, never to be found again. Another $20 down the drain .....

This picture is really cool! Did you buy a muncha different colors and then glue them next to each other or did you buy one big rock w/ all of them on it?

Love the blues, greens, and GSPs. The blue are especially great.

I actually started a thread where I glued several oyster shells together and made a vertical platform for some frags. What you see is the result
