One Zoa different than the rest.

So looking at my colony of unknown type of Zoa I got from a LFS has one polyp different than the rest. Kind of interesting.

I’m no coral diagnosis expert but it could be mutation of some sort

just a slight variance,
i wouldn’t call that a morph though

It's not unusual for individual polyps within a colony, especially a wild colony, to present differently. You see this most often with watermelon zoas that get a splash of green in the center. Most of the time its new polyps that are growing. However, wild colonies will sometimes gradually morph as they adjust to captivity. Give it a few months and you'll have your answer one way or the other.

I have noticed a lot more since going with the new T5 light with blue plus and 10k bulbs over the LED strips I was running.

People have been sleeping on, and underestimating, the mighty T5 for far too long. LEDs in their many forms can do a lot things but will never match growth, color and long-term coral sustainability of the T5. That said, I still use a reef brite with my T5's for that extra pop.
