We are starting a new series at Club-Zoa that spotlights on certain zoanthid strains. What we are looking for is any information you may have regarding that zoa strain. So possible information includes, your source (if possible), where you keep it in your tank (height), flow, do you feed, PICS, and any other characteristics that others may not know.
What I will do is keep updating this first post to reflect new information that others supply. This will keep users from having to hunt down information through all the posts. So consider this first post your Zoanthid Strain ID card. Now on to the serious stuff...
Our first Club-Zoa Spotlight is going to be on a classic
****************************************************************
Eagle Eyes
-A classic in the zoa world, this color strain is characterized by their light colored (greyish) center, orange disc, and green skirt. Disc color can vary according to the amount of light, with the orange becoming a reddish color in high light situations.
Lighting:
Eagle Eyes can tolerate a wide range of lighting, but colors show best with more lighting. Tank placement can range from middle to high up in the water column.
Flow:
Similar to a lot of other zoanthids, Eagle Eyes do best with a medium flow. Medium flow can be best described as enough to move the skirt, but not enough to disturb it into closing.
Feeding:
Eagle Eyes do not show any signs of feeding.
Origins:
Vietnam
Rarity:
Not very difficult to find from other collectors but may be difficult to find in stock at a local fish store.
ID Confusions:
Often people confuse "Dragon Eyes" with Eagle Eyes, but the easiest way to distinguish the two is the clearly defined center of the Eagle Eyes strain.
