My Zoas

[3Dsam]

hello
i thought i'd upload some pics of my zoas and palys with the intention of updating the thread whenever i get some new frags.
I've been collecting zoas for several months and i am completely hooked, always got a swap or two on the go and when i have money i'm like a woman shopping for shoes
probably not gonna see anything too special as we don't get a lot of topshelf stuff coming up often and if it ever does, it has a hefty price tag, top of my wishlist is Hallucination but here they go for about £250 pp ($400+) :/ and that's if u can find someone willing to sell as only a handful of people have them

pics in alphabetical order rather than order of prettiness, mostly taken with blues

Very nice zoas and pics.

What camera/lens are you using and how are you taking the pics?

thanks mate, the camera is a fuji finepix s4000, its one of those fairly cheap cameras pretending to be a SLR. to take my pics i position the zoas very close to the glass and use super macro mode, leaning the camera against the glass to steady the shot
would love a proper DLSR and macro lens, maybe one day when i run out of zoas to buy

cheers mate,
i think it's the shop or person that first obtains a new morph that gets to name them. if a zoa or paly has a prefix to its name, the initials imply where the zoa comes from (as in, where it was sold first, not where it was collected) eg: PZ, CB, GB, WWC etc... (planet zoa, cornbred, goldenbasket, world wide corals)

still a few more to do that didn't want to open fully after being moved

PZ Prometheans

Green Nuke (i think)

Punk Rocker
