zoa and paly

Hey everyone, I just recently got an Acan frag and noticed, what appears to be, a paly or zoa on it. Normally I would be happy to get a free bonus coral, but I have pretty bad anxiety and I don't want the fear of palytoxin to get in the way of my enjoyment with my reef. When I handled it...

I am new to the hobby and have a friend that has been in the hobby for about 6 years. He kind of scared me away from Zoa's because of the palytoxin that may be present. I do like the colors and how little they cost. What's your experience with Zoa's, and should I stay away from them?

Hello, I ordered these Crybabies from a local coral farm, but what I go seems to have much longer tentacles and very long stems, perhaps reaching for light but none of my other zoas are. I just want to make sure I don’t have a more toxic variety perhaps a palythoa rather than a zoanthid as I try...

Hi all. I got these to sell at a show and multiple people asked to buy because they did not recognize it. Made me decide not to sell til I figured out what I had. Looked through zoanthids.com and could not find. Google identified as Nuclear Green Palythoas which I don’t agree so figured I’d...

Dude at my LFS was *certain* it was aptasia- I have had aptasia outbreaks in my tank a handful of times over the years….i do not think this is aptasia. I’m leaning more toward Zoanthids or Palys(??) Wanted to get 2nd, 3rd opinion. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone Was just curious if you could recommend coral stores or local reefers in Buffalo,NY, other than ARC. I’m mainly into anemones, mushrooms, zoas and leathers. Not the regular stuff but rather the not so ordinary ! Thanks guys.

I have some JF Captain Jerks on live rock for sale. All rock pieces have multiple polyps. Ones pictured have grown out even more since taking the pics. If you want a picture of a specific piece let me know otherwise I’ll pick a random rock out of the pile for you. I have about 15 live rock...

I have questions that would like to discus about. I have some zoas in my tank that are beautiful and have grown then I have zoas that close up and have brown on them I have a Redsea reefer 250 with a Radion gen5 Xr blue that’s on the arm with 2 Mp40 a that are on constant mode at like 3 light...

I set up my tank some time ago and had only fish and inverts. Then I ended up inheriting some live rock and zoas from someone who was shutting down their tank. I have what I believe to be a large paly colony, but then also these suuuuper tiny zoas. When I asked the guy what any of them were he...

Hey guys and gals, Long time lurker finally deciding to join and share pics of the piece I had to have which led to trying full saltwater for the first time, along with some progress with zoas which have quickly become a passion in the 3 months or so my tank’s been up. I work at a very nice...

Hi everyone, Can y’all please help me ID these? They came with the tank when I purchased it a few years back and I always thought they were zoas but was told recently otherwise. I was told they are captain jerks. Depending on the spot in the tank the color changes. I was going to bleach the...

Hello fellow reefers! I have a few colonies of zoas which are doing amazing but one particular zoa has been getting smaller rather than bigger despite other corals showing no signs of stress… change in lighting is due to the lens I’m using not the actual light. Bluer photo is before, whiter...

Hi everyone! I saw this Zoa at a LFS and now it’s gone. Can anyone help? Pic is not great, so the tentacles are a reddish-brown color. The disc is obviously yellow and the mouth area is a whitish-blue color. Any ideas? Is this a “zombie” of some sort? Thanks!

Hey all! New to this forum… I have a mini colony of captain jerk zoas and it looks like one is stretching off of the plug? Pretty neat. Curious if this is “normal” or …. everything seems to be healthy. Ive had zoas/softies for about 6 months and this is the first time I’ve witnessed this! Happy...

A couple of these bugs came off my zoas after dipping. They are very small, 2-3mm. Mostly translucent. They have 2 thin long antennas on their head. I looked at photos of Zoanthid-eating nudibranchs and those are much thicker than what I found. Are these just amphipods? I do have amphipods in my...

Has anyone ever had any experience with palytoxin from a Zoa or Paly? I’ve heard and read about it and it seems to be pretty nasty but i’m not sure what the actual risk is.

I've been reading about softie chemical warfare, and how brutal they can apparently be, along with of course Paly/zoas. Do you run carbon to try to protect your non-softies, or would it even make a difference?
