Nick's Zoa Collection

Nick_kun · May 1, 2009

So I have recently started collection zoanthids and palythoas again after getting rid of my zoa eating hippo. Sigh!

Here's a breif info about my tank.
180 Peninsula (60x30x24), 2x250 PFO HQI/Radium/LMB. 2x6100+7096 tunzes. Mixed Reef. blah blah blah blah blah.

Here's the right half of my tank.

My current favorite piece. I call em "Nick's Blue Jeans" :sad:

Just waiting for this one to color up. I heard it develops a green ring.

This one is crazy bright. It looks red in the pic, but it's bright orange which I can't seem to capture. I call this one "Phoenix Ignition"

Can someone ID this piece?

generic watermelons

you can find more pics of my tank here. http://www.sdreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50133

yeah, it's been a year since my last zoa adventure. I didn't realize how many new variants are out there these days.

that was my plan since day one. I hated the fruit stand look. Having an 3 sided tank really opened a lot of aquascaping ideas.

Thanks guys, the denim is definately an awesome piece. Hopefully I can get it to grow into a large colony. I just need to the frag out of the plug and into a disc.
