New Zoanthids - Reef-Geeks

Clownfish Sushi · Big-Geek

I picked up some new zoas today from DPA. I promised myself that I wasn't going to spend money on zoas (because they never seem to do too well for me) but I had to jump on this colony.

I had never seen this variety before. It shares the same color pigments as the pink ricordea mushroom. And just like the ricordea, it has an extreme reaction to the blue/actinic light.

I'm pretty happy with them. They make my other zoas look very dull and boring.

You've got to expect that the next 17 posts are going to be asking for pictures - so I'll go first:

Did oyu see the neon green ones they had

I'm so hoping those and a few other things are available on payday.

My white balance is a little off but trust me... same pigment as a florida ricordea...

Oh, and I don't recall any neon green ones!

Barbara · Geekette

ooooooooohh......very nice jason

....I predict you'll be very successful with them!

...so are they blue in the center?

Clownfish Sushi · Big-Geek

Not especially. I suppose they do have a blue/gray tint to them. It's really the pink that stands out. None of my other zoas flouresce under the actinics.

I bet I can name the mystery supplier as I would be willing to bet they got their original supply from me. If it is actually Nuclear Greens we are talking about. If they are green Radioactive Dragon Eyes, I think I know who that supplier is too.

Billrob said that they were nuclear greens, they looked like green fire in my tank under the moonlights. I'll try to get/post some pics tonight over in my build thread.

Nuclear Greens have a neon green center with a silver/grey skirt, and Radioactive Dragon Eyes have a bright green skirt with a green center. The Nuclear Greens are also palys and therefore are bigger than the Radioactive Dragon Eye zoanthids.

Ahh- they are definitely Radioactive Dragon Eyes then - - or as I've been referring to them:

"The pretty green ones"
